Homes for Rent 

How much do I need for a deposit on a home for rent?

The amount you need for a deposit is usually equal to one month's rent.  This does not include a pet deposit, which is usually separate.  Pet deposits vary greatly.  They can be refundable or non-refundable. They can also be per pet or total for all pets. Deposits may also be increased for applicants with poor credit.  Landlords might be willing to consider a tenant with bad credit if they offer a double deposit which is equal to two month's rent.
