New​ rental lease.​When​ to​ pay​ rent​ and​ security​ deposit

[Olmate]

When signing lease to begin in a few weeks. When to pay first months rent and security deposit to agent.  On signing or date you move in? Thanks

Just give Agent a small deposit to show you are committed to the rental,

try to arrange signing lease and moving in on same day ,pay rent and

deposit then. get receipt and lease.

Agent gets money from you, keys from owner, and does the exchange as & when ready.
