It varies - many places do a security deposit and 1 month, some do first and last, some just do 1 month.

We have generally been asked for first month's and a deposit. The one time we were asked to put up last month's as well, we worked out a payment schedule for it. That worked out really well all of the way around since when we moved we had that last month already paid for and could put money toward the house we moved to. But I don't know what happens if the house gets foreclosed on during your lease. I guess the landlord gets away with the cash from the last month and the deposit.

These are your friend:
Welcome to the Walton County Florida Property Appraiser's Website = look up the house and find out who the owner/owners are.
Walton County COUNTY RECORDS VERIFIED THROUGH Monday, Apr 25, 2011. LAST CFN = 1154182 (v3.0.3) = this allows you to search the owners name, you can specifically look for LIS PEN which is the giant red flag.
That said it's pretty common in parts of the country to ask for first, last, and deposit and people have brought that mentality here. I'm not saying it's wrong, but anytime a landlord is really chomping at the bit for a lumpsum your guard should naturally go up.
