<prompt> Human: So I saw a listing on Craiglist and I messaged the landlord. I toured the property and I decided to want to rent the room for school. She told me to hand her 2 months of rentutilities and a security deposit which seems reasonable.I am planning on giving it to her all in cash. Do you think that is advised?  <response>: I am planning on giving it to her all in cash. Do you think that is advised?Before any money changes hands, make sure you have a signed lease. Also make sure you get a signed receipt for any payments you make in cash.
