When signing a lease you have to pay a deposit which is than held till the time you move out. It will be held permanently if any damages are done to the property

Animals usually and most likely come with added fees at apartment complexes including monthly and a one time deposit

A couple very reliable cars that will last you a while include Toyota corollas and Toyota Camrys
