I always collect first, last and security. So I am holding 2 extra months rent at any given time until the last month of the lease. I also run a credit check and background check. The one renter I had a problem with had nothing to do with money, rather with late night parties! I terminated the lease at 4 months and kept the security ddposit in it's entirety. Other than that I have always had very good renters who have taken care of the house as if it were their own.
