Landlord wants six months up front — is that normal now?
Found a two-room flat in Vera, and I like it. The landlord wants six months paid up front plus a deposit. Friends say one month used to be normal. Has it changed?
Common with foreigners, not a rule. Offer three months and a written contract in both languages — most landlords agree. Whatever you pay, pay against a signed receipt, never in cash on trust.

Adding one thing: photograph the meters on the day you get the keys, with the landlord in the picture if you can.
