4 different big payments starting off

[Jacob Bollman]

hello just quick question.

I'm attempting to get a 2 bedroom apartment with my friend and its been a pain trying to run around and do everything they need. Anyways i work lawn care and since winter is here we don't have any work to do so I just started unemployment. They needed proof of return to work and my acceptance of unemployment. So they tell me for safety reasons they'd need first month, and last month, makes sense. I finally get a call telling me we've been accepted but they would need deposit, prorated first month (Dec 1), January's rent, and last months. I understand my situation is rather weird so its why I am having trouble deciding if this is appropriate way of starting out with a place I'd have to live for at least a year.

Tl;dr: prorated first month rent, next months, and last months along with deposit.
