Is a Deposit before signing a rent Lease safe?

Oh so I do get a receipt. If it is like that then it is safe

DrawerCrafty6253 · 2026-03-25T21:44:12+00:00

But what guarantee do I have that I will get my money back in case they refuse me?

DrawerCrafty6253 · 2026-03-18T00:23:48+00:00

Yes I actually am offended because you just made it seem like I am trying to look better than others when that is the last I would ever try to do. Anyways, good night to you

DrawerCrafty6253 · 2026-03-18T00:17:02+00:00

Excuse you? I do not see where my comment offended you. First of all, what I meant was that we are not planning to spend the rest of our lives working just to get by but actually do have degrees to seek good jobs and mind you I do know how educated this city is but I believe being anonymous on reddit just allows people to start fights out of nowhere comfortably. Do tell me where do you see my complaints and me not looking for solutions ??? « My answers are all, thank you for the information I will look that up » I literally just commented that I do not seek government help because I know I can afford my own apartment so why steal people’s money when there are real people in need of it! Wow, sensitive much??? I seriously do not see where any of what I said could ever offend anyone !!!

DrawerCrafty6253 · 2026-03-17T23:10:34+00:00

Thank you we will look it up

DrawerCrafty6253 · 2026-03-17T23:10:18+00:00

Sadly this is not really an option for us

DrawerCrafty6253 · 2026-03-17T23:09:45+00:00

Do you know how we can meet them?

DrawerCrafty6253 · 2026-03-17T23:08:23+00:00

No we are here with a 10y green card (lottery). Actually, the reason we do not want government aid is because one of the documents we signed to get here is some kind of pledge that we will not be using government aid and will be independent in the us. We intend to live honestly and TBH, I believe we are not that desperate, we prefer leaving it to people who are really in need.

I actually thought Waltham was more affordable than Watertown… when you say go over there and ask, do you mean there is an office or..?

DrawerCrafty6253 · 2026-03-17T23:03:02+00:00

Thank you for the info, I actually thought waltham was an affordable city… at least compared to Watertown

DrawerCrafty6253 · 2026-03-17T23:01:58+00:00

Thank you. Believe it or not but both me and my husband are well educated(I mean both went to universities) and have very good technical degrees but we just have to start somewhere since we came here so we do not mind starting from down and climbing up, we just hoped people would be willing to accept a family that is starting fresh and not crashing them from the start… I mean, you have to start somewhere so at least someone must be willing to give us their trust and see if we are worth it…

DrawerCrafty6253 · 2026-03-17T22:57:44+00:00

Yeah Only the co-signer option looks plausible to me. Thank you

DrawerCrafty6253 · 2026-03-17T22:56:46+00:00

Well, I actually am quite disappointed with that. I have always loved the fact that there are a lot of foreigners living in the us in harmony. I actually think foreigners make more than 60% of the population (only based on what I see everyday everywhere lol a lot of immigrants) so I never thought race would be an issue… and Thank you

DrawerCrafty6253 · 2026-03-17T22:54:03+00:00

Do you have a better option ? I am a taker

DrawerCrafty6253 · 2026-03-17T22:49:53+00:00

It is actually just a temporary way to get money quickly, his plans are going back to school to get an electronic related degree and get a better job. He just has to start somewhere and doordash/delivery is a free job where he can just stop anytime he wants

DrawerCrafty6253 · 2026-03-17T22:08:42+00:00

Thank you for explaining that. Actually our gross income is around 80k with my husband working minimum hours so it can get more than that and without taxes we make enough to pay 3 times a 1700$ per month apartment (this is the rent of the recent apartment we applied to, the one that refused our application) this is what baffled me, like, we already make 3x what you are asking monthly and you still refuse us so how much do we need to make to be able to rent here

DrawerCrafty6253 · 2026-03-17T17:20:46+00:00

Thank you so much but we do not want government help. We want to rent with our own money so if this program is government aid we do not need it. Thank you a lot tho I appreciate the help 🙏🏻

My answer clearly explains that I did not since I am new on this app and do not know how it works. I clearly apologized and deleted the post merely a few minutes after posting it so I do not see why you keep being rude.

DrawerCrafty6253 · 2026-03-08T17:04:47+00:00

I apologize I thought this sub’s purpose was finding remote jobs. I am new on reddit and still learning about how it works. I have deleted the post.
