Security deposit and first month s rent? Struggling renters may have new options Amanda Golden © Provided by NBC News
Last June, Josh DeSon, a clinical psychology graduate student, had a choice to make: whether or not to take over the lease on his three-bedroom apartment in New York City’s Washington Heights neighborhood and be liable for the total costs as multiple roommates were losing jobs and moving out.
The Covid-19 pandemic had already driven many to leave the city and its high rents.
The apartment’s lease came with a hefty security deposit, including the first month’s rent, that totaled more than $6,000. Then DeSon learned about security deposit insurance, a service that would allow him to pay monthly, rather than the entire lump sum.
