How much is the deposit and when do I have to pay it?

The deposit is equal to one month rent; additionally, at the time that the lease is signed, the first month rent is due. The deposit will be refunded to you when you move out, provided that no damages have been done to the property, you have fulfilled your six month lease, proper notice is given and all University charges have been paid.
