Key insights
For furnished mid-term rentals, consider a security deposit equal to one month's rent, as it needs to cover potential damage to furniture beyond standard wear and tear.
Mistakes to avoid
Charging last month's rent in addition to the first month's rent and a security deposit can be excessive, potentially deterring tenants. A common practice is first month's rent plus a security deposit equal to one month's rent.
