<prompt> Human: Im trying to decide whether I should just use it up the first month 1875 and have 1 month rent free or I also have the option of splitting it over 12 months and instead paying 1718 for rent. Technically its the same thing, I understand, but do you guys see any pros or cons of doing it one way over the other?  <response>: Get it up front! Its the same in the long run, but with one option youre letting them hang on to your money. If youre good at budgeting, theres no reason to have them dole it out to you over time. Put it straight into an emergency fund if you have one.You could get it all now. Whats the benefit of not? If youre responsible with your money, there is none.
