    While I can't speak to what goes on in the US...

    A friend of mine here in the UK found that not only do you need a security deposit and two months rent.... Private landlords may require a full credit check and two years worth of income proof of about $36,000 (USD) per year. This is apparently becoming the standard, and that's just for renting a bedroom in a shared house. Shared kitchen and bathroom. This is London though, where a leasehold on a parking space could be worth $1m (USD) if it's in the right zipcode.
