I've done 2 months personally (first and last), but most of my places have done 1 month. 3 is insane.

What has everyone else been seeing?

The apartment I used to live at only wanted a $500 deposit - rent was around $3300/month. This was an apartment complex owned by a large company (Equity Residential) so honestly it confused me as I thought they'd try to squeeze as much money as possible from tenants. They did that for rent increases - the increases were always the maximum allowed by law (5% + CPI, capped at 10%), down to the cent.
