i would disagree with last poster. tenant can prepay rent to take advantage of a discount ofered by landlord for prompt or early payment. deposits or security deposits are totally diferent than prepaid rents. the issue of whether these tenants are a good risk is something else. i wouldnt take a chance on them without a co signer or guarantor,....perhaps their parents.

you can disagree but youd still be wrong...ANY fee other than the application/credit check fee collected from the tenant is considered the SECURITY DEPOSIT. You CANNOT collect rent in advance - that would be considered part of the security deposit and would exceed the legal limit that can be collected.
