    That’s actually a thing where I am. There is a fee (usually one month rent) tacked on when you sign a new lease/renew your lease that is basically thank-you money to the landlord for letting you stay there. Yet we don’t tip anywhere else. In addition to the security deposit (that virtually nobody gets back), agency fee., and first month rent. It isn’t uncommon to pay 5 months rent upfront when you move.

    I hate it and usually only rent places when I can negotiate that particular fee away. Which you can, because it isn’t legally required anywhere.
