first month rent

Opening housing payment

First month rent is the initial month's payment required when signing a lease, typically due alongside a security deposit before moving in.

Landlords collect it upfront to ensure tenants can meet their financial obligations: We needed three thousand for first month rent plus deposit.

Sometimes called first month's rent.
