Do I really have to pay this down payment for an apartment? Tell me I don't please. I need to refuse that.
Surely you know you can't do that and still get the apartment, everyone knows this. Why in the world would you refuse to pay the extra down-payment?
I'll refuse and if the landlord doesn't like it, well I'll just not rent from him.
It's wrong to refuse paying the down-payment for the apartment you're trying to live in. You should pay whatever is agreed upon.
My mood would have to be desperate for a place to live right now, it should be the only reason I pay extra. I'm not in need of an apartment right now.
Then you will be waiting a long time. All apartments require a down payment in order to maintain. Save more money so in the future you are ready for it.
