we take a deposit on the house at signing ..... 60 days out 1/2 off balance 30 days out the other half of balanceyou Will find that most people when you're renting for 6 months will ask for January February and March upfront to make sure that you are going to stay for the full 6 months instead of leaving after 3 months that way they guarantee their winter rate....and yes there have been renters who have taken 6month rental at a lower rate and then moved out at the end of March has not happened to us but to a couple of good friends
