Most places take a Security deposit for if you trash the place, some places want first and/or last months rent up front, you need proof you can pay so pay stubs. Some places depending where you live actually run credit checks which I've never heard of before. Guess a lot of people skip out on rent 🤷🏻

Electric for the place, some places charge for water usage, some include it in the rent. 6 month leases are typical, longer you commit you can negotiate for lower rent each month.
