What else can I help you with?
When you pay first and last security deposit on a rental home and you stayed there for your first month do you owe after the first 30 days or do you start paying on the second month you just don't get?
Normally you start paying the rent after 30 days. The landlord keeps the "last" months rent as a security deposit until you move out. In some states, you can use this as the final month's rent on your lease (usually the 12th month.) If you renew your lease the landlord will keep it until your final 30 days. . . that's why it's called the "last" month's rent.

The first and last rule generally means that when you move-in you are required to pay your first month rent and your last month's rent. A security deposit may also be charged. But oftentimes your landlord will work with you in making security or last month's rent deposits. The difference between last month rent and a security deposit, both which can equal the same amount, is that the last month rent is used to apply to your last month of rent, while the security deposit is refunded to you provided you leave the apartment in good condition minus reasonable wear and tear. Your security deposit is generally not applied towards your last month's rent, especially if you did pay a last month's rent in advance.

Pet deposit different from a security deposit?
I can only answer this for Massachusetts, but I think it's the same in most or all states. MGL c.186 only allows a landlord to collect at the beginning of a tenancy: 1. first month rent; 2. last month rent; 3. security deposit; and 4. a key fee. Anything else is forbidden. Futhermore, a pet deposit is clearly meant to cover damage by a pet. That's a security deposit - it's the same thing. BTW, the deposit must then be handled like a security deposit, which is difficult. The penalty for mishandling it is three times the amount of the deposit.
