Hi, so looking to sign a lease and last thing is what kind of deposit to do.
Deposit 1:
* 2 traditional deposits of $905 each, total of $1810 (refundable upon moveout, less damage)*

Deposit 2:
* 1 traditional deposit of $905 (refundable upon moveout, less damage) & Sure Deposit bond of $175 (non-refundable)
Make sure you document any flaws, no matter how insignificant of the apartment when you move in. Scratch on kitchen cupboard, one tile has a small crack in bathroom, small flaw in carpet, candle wax on carpet, how clean it was, or not when you moved in, missing screen, write up list of flaws, keep a copy and send apartment management a copy. Check every square inch, even in closets. Pictures of everything that you could possibly be blamed for when you move out. Keep it in a safe place. Don't throw away until months and months after you move out. Oh, and demand a walk through with apartment when you move out, and take more pictures.
