In a lease agreement, what is the average number of months for advance deposit payment?

Question

If you lease a commercial space of 3 storeys, is it reasonable if the lessor ask the lessee to pay the 1 year advance deposit?

Answer 1

Usually a depost of 1 to 3 months is customary, but you will have to ask other tenants in the area to truly get an idea of what is going on in the local market.

If you have bad credit or a questionable business, I could see that it may be high.
