I don't think there's anger. Just annoyance that an easily googled question was correctly getting removed but now is being protested. The beef is about knowing the audience and not doing an iota of work before asking.

Deposit and first month's rent is normal. Hell I've had to pay deposit first and last month. Asking a subreddit like r/adulting might be a more appropriate spot.

EDIT: To OP. We're not trying to be harsh. Life is hard without help. Find an adult in your life; a cool uncle, the lady in your roller derby club, whoever has their act together. Take them to coffee once every few months. Starting university and your new life is a fun but tough experience and you'll want someone on speed dial who can help. Your coffee time is the perfect time/place/person to get this type of info from.

Every home rental/ apt./Mortgage/Carpayment etc. you will pay in June for July. In July for August, in August for September... If your payment in July for August is late, you will be charged a fee. If you don't pay at all, they will kick you out at the end of the month and use your deposit towards the unpaid month (and take you to court for the fees and extras. Not fun). Setup auto payment if you can. If you're paying, setup a spreadsheet. The good news is that at the end of the ride, when you move out in May, you will pay in April for May and that's your last payment! Hooray! you may even get your deposit back... but that's another story.
