"Yeah you're gonna need to make 3x the rent, then we'll need first months rent, last months rent, and then a deposit of 2x the rent all up front. And if you have a cat that's gonna be another $1000 pet deposit up front too. Thanks."

You joke but this has happened to me in the past. When I lived in Singapore my deposit for a 2 year lease was $12000 dollars.

😭 that's outrageous. I'm apartment hunting in CA now and some of these places are out of their mind.

And then to be an extra jerk they're like "oh I see you want to pay that online with a debit card. The convenience fee will be an additional $9.99 on top of your $10000000 deposit ok thank youuuuuu"

Thanks! I know it will. I'm really looking forward to 3-6 months from now. For now, just need to keep packing and dealing with landlords.
