Estimate the upfront move-in amount needed for a North Carolina rental deposit and first month.
Move-in cash for a North Carolina rental = deposit (commonly one month's rent, sometimes two for pets or weaker credit) plus the first month's rent and application/fees.
Upfront
Upfront = deposit + first month + fees
Estimate only — rules vary by lease and locality.
Most states require a return within 14–45 days after move-out, minus documented damages.
Rates are approximate reference values. Local rates, exemptions and rules can differ, so treat the output as a planning figure only.
