Generally, you pay first and last month rent and a security deposit so you don't just fuck off.

Usually, you can leave with 1 month notice, but it would depend on the contact you sign.

@HopelessRomantic You'll have to work that out with the property owner. Most people, though, don't say no to money.

@HopelessRomantic Paying a whole years rent is not wise. What if you are there a month and it turns out to be a nightmare..it happens all the time to people. You'll never get the rest of the money back believe me. Put it in the bank and pay monthly.
