I'm not sure, but I think when people ask for 1st & last month's rent, last month's IS the security. So only 3 months.

that sounds about right when you break it out like that-- although the brokers fee is the variable, i.e. no fee, or a small percentage vs 1 month's rent.

Re: when moving into a new place(renting)????
it seems like a lot of money- but then when you move in, you don't pay rent til your second month and then when you move out-- unless you have done damage, you don't pay rent for two months.. or you don't pay the last month, then you get your full security back-- then it's like free money!

That sounds excessive to me. From my experience renting in Queens, we paid first months rent and security to the landlord, and the fee to the broker.

Re: when moving into a new place(renting)????
i think it can vary a bit. we used a broker and paid:
-1st month's rent
-security deposit (=monthly rent)
-broker fee (=monthly rent)
but i have heard of people paying 1st and last month's rent too. maybe have enough for all just in case.

Re: when moving into a new place(renting)????
In my experience, it has always been first months rent & security (which equaled a months rent)
Then again, I have never gone through a broker...

be careful with brokers- the fee can be up to 1.5 rent in NYC
