My husband and I are quickly noticing how high the rent prices are going up. We found a spot down the street which is $2200/month. We are got a conditional offer. Pretty much the landlords realtor told us that we need $4400 + another $2200 to take it off the market.

Our credit isn’t great so I can understand to a certain degree. Has anyone had anything like this before?

Also, the landlords realtor is asking for us to make out the $4400(deposit) to the landlord and $2200(first months rent) to her management company.

Why is the rent going to the management company and not the landlord? I’m a little confused. Thanks I’m advance guys!
