When Do I Get My Apartment Keys

Should you pay deposit before getting keys?

Most landlords require full payment of the security deposit before the tenants receive the keys. Often the security deposit is paid when the lease or month-to-month rental agreement is signed. Very rarely a landlord might agree to work with the tenants and allow partial payment of the security deposit before moving in.

How many sets of keys do you get for an apartment?

(a) A landlord shall provide a minimum of one key or key-set per rental unit for each adult occupant, without charge.
