> 3 months deposit plus 3 months rents upfront
You need to come up with 6 month worth of rent to start renting? That's massive. It basically means most would need to borrow that money. Is that supposed to be a good thing?
I'm glad that illegal here, that's abusive. Personally I avoided any ad that required more than 2 month total upfront. Thankfully the local market allowed it. If I wanted to put a massive deposit I'd buy, not rent.
- silvestrov 6y agoA lot of people have that on hand in Denmark or can get a loan from their bank. You also don't have to pay rent the last 1 to 3 months for your previous place, so it's not as bad as it sound. People in USA live a lot more paycheck-to-paycheck than in the rest of the world.
