Lucky you don't rent in Germany, around 3 months rent deposit before you move in (if you use an estate agent then you can count on about the same amount in fees,) the apartment might not have any fittings such as a kitchen, bathroom, lights (even switches), etc. all of which you will need to provide yourself and when you move out you either take them with you or try and sell onto the next tenant. Oh, and you have to redecorate to the original (white) state before you move out.
