Usually 1 months rent for the broker fee, plus a security deposit of between 1/2 to 1 months' rent, plus last months' rent in advance, (plus the first months rent of course). you're looking at a quarter to a third of the year's rent up front in cash. if you are willing to rent apartments in surrounding cities like somerville, newton, or quincy then the security deposit will be a little lower and the broker's fee is negotiable -- usually you pay 1/2 month's rent. But if you're looking to start your lease on 9/1, then forget about it. You'll have to pay 1 month's rent no matter what b/c that's when all the college students come back to town.
