    Deposit should be $1050 or more. Equals 1.5 months rent

    150% of the rent.

    You need to look up your states laws. They govern deposits, how much and what you do with them. Also last months rent is a state thing, which is illegal in mine.

    I’m a property manager and all of our deposits are 1.5 times the rent. We do not take last months rent, just 1st and deposit.

    This has worked well for our 70 + properties for several years.

    You can ask for last months rent as well if you want to.
