The general purpose of section 1950.5 is to limit the amount and use of security deposits in residential leases. The total security which can be collected is limited to an amount equal to two months’ rent for unfurnished units, and three months’ rent for furnished units, in addition to the first month’s rent. This limitation does not prohibit “an advance payment of not less than six months’ rent where the term of the lease is six months or longer.” (§ 1950.5, subd. (c).)
