Most rent by the month, with rent usually due on the first of each month.

You will generally sign a 1 year lease. You will make payments on this lease on a monthly basis. It is a year to year term with most leasing offices.
It can be much different when you're renting privately. You may sign a contract stating you are a month to month tenant, or a week to week tenant. These leases, however, are fairly uncommon.
Educate yourself now. Research the landlord/tenant statutes of your state, and have your parents help you if there are sections of the statutes you don't understand. These are to protect you. The laws are almost always on your side unless you don't pay your rent.

Most Apartments are leased yearly, with monthly payments due on the first of each month.
Also, if you are young and have not established credit yet, be prepared to put down a security deposit equivalent to your first months payment.

Most are monthly because it's less of a hassle for the apartment manager.

You pay rent by the month and you usually sign a year lease. For a roommate situation you will both sign the lease and you will both be resonsible for the rent-however, if one of you bails out, the landlord can and will go after the one they can track down for the rent. That means they don't have to go looking for your roommmate if your roomie skips out and leaves you holding the bag.

Usually monthly, except for very low-end apartments, which would be weekly, or VERY VERY low-end apartments which would be hourly.
