Deposit or advance rent: what's the difference?
The security deposit ("caution") covers any unpaid rent or damage: it is returned to the tenant at the end of the lease. The advance rent ("avance") is rent paid upfront, which is then used up month by month.
Since the 2019 Construction and Housing Code, neither the deposit nor the advance rent may exceed two months' rent for a residential property.
