 Thanks Russell, I saw a lot of other listings doing what you suggest. I appreciate your input.

 Thank you

I see in Maryland I can collect no more than 2 months rental total for security deposit.

So if I collect 1st months rent upfront, in general is that considered not part of security deposit? 

Thank you

Hey BPers,

I have a rental I want to price at $2.1k/m.

My question is: 

Can the average renter really come up with $6.3k up front to put down?

Maybe it's better to do 1st month up front + like a $3k security deposit instead?

I'm in Maryland -  Baltimore County.

Thank you for your input and experience!

 Thanks Jim, never thought of that idea!

 Thanks Todd - should there be some kind of anchor around the part of the screw that contacts the plasterboard though?

Hello,

I am trying to put in a handrail on my 1st floor steps, but stuck on one thing.

The wall appears to be plaster, with 2 sheets of plasterboard roughly 3/4inch total. Behind that directly is a cinderblock wall.

No studs.

What screws do I use to handle this so that it can withstand 200lbs of downward and outward load?

I purchased these on the right, and the handrail kit included the back on the left. 

What is the way to do this so it's 100% safe to support weight?

Thank you for your time and knowledge.
