Ah, so it's a "polite" bribe, heh.

Managed properties in the USA also almost always keep a security deposit and find something else to clean. So basically you are paying for their own property depreciation, they cannot lose.

When you have bad credit, it is common here to require first and last month's rent in addition to the security deposit. I thought maybe that was the equal of "key money" but now I understand.
