Re: Apartment Renting- Is this normal?
It could be simply high demand that is now requiring a full security deposit (often a month's rent) to hold an apartment. We've moved 3 times in the last 8 years and have always signed a lease within a week or 2 putting down a small deposit, but that may have changed here since we haven't moved in the last 4 years but can see the high demand as evidenced by the number of new apartment complexes being built.
