2 months security deposit is good but month to month isn’t good for you. Too much vacancy and too much hassle. I charge 1 to 2 months security deposit depending on credit score and job history. 720+ credit with great job history will be one month. 560 credit with so job history will be first months rent + 2 months security deposit if I even lease to you at all.
Was merely alluding to landlords who've been unfortunate to be stuck in leases with unpaying tenants, bucking the system...and how I might not be adversely affected with the month to month arrangement.
