    Makes complete sense. If you’re evicted wrongfully, you have an appeal option that doesn’t hurt either party. If you’re evicted for not paying your rent, then… Yeah. Gtfo.

    Lots of places worldwide require 1 year of rent upfront, no exceptions. In addition you have a security deposit and utilities deposit. And guess what, the rent is never late that way. Amazing how that works.

      If you have a whole year’s rent saved up + security and utility deposit then you have a down payment on a mortgage saved up, what would be the point in renting?

      Really curious what places require this absurd 1 year up front, I have never heard of that.

      complete horseshit. just say you’re a landlord because no one in their right mind would think this is even remotely normal.

        Just say your a myopic American that can’t fathom not everything works like the Cracker Barrel.

        I am a landlord, AND I rent. I live globally around the world. Wake up stupid.

        Congrats to you for being stupid! If you’d like to see where this is absolutely normal, use your 2 brain cells to Google for places that exist outside the shithole of whatever piece of America you live in.

          it’s not normal. most places around the world have one month’s rent as a deposit, some have two, and in some crazy outliers it goes up to three. anything above that is abnormal and should be outlawed. but then again being a landlord should be outlawed as well.
