敷金, yes, always (security deposit). 礼金, not really, or at least not as expensive as Japan; it’s at most a small application fee or something (10-100 USD?)
Oh, there’s also a lock replacement fee, but it’s minimal too.
@DariusJahandarie Did you set that practice meetup yourself, or was it something that you found? I've been looking around in my area to find something like that, and haven't had much luck.
It is New Mexico though, so I shouldn't be too surprised...
