More on the upfront costs:

Why do I have to pay?

Usually, a move-in fee is charged to a tenant upon signing their new lease. The fee serves to cover the costs of accommodating and processing new tenants, such as showings, signings, inspections,  and reprogramming security systems. A move-in fee is always non-refundable.

How is this different from a security deposit?

A security deposit is a lump sum paid by a tenant to a landlord at the beginning of their lease period. This deposit is essentially an insurance account that a landlord can draw from to fix any damage caused by the tenant. At the end of the lease period, whatever is left from the deposit must be returned to the tenant. A move-in fee does not get returned to the tenant at the end of the lease, but it is often a much smaller amount than a security deposit, which can be as much as two months’ rent.
