Rent contract for Olim - does this sound abusive?

Hi! My mom and I made aliyah 9 days ago and we're about to sign our first rental contract in Haifa. Since we're new to Israel, we'd love to know if this looks like a standard lease or if there are any red flags. It's just so hard to know if we are being taken advantage of as olot.

Main terms:

\- ₪3,300/month for 1 year

\- ₪3,300 security deposit

\- 12 post-dated rent checks

\- 4 blank checks for arnona, water, gas and electricity

\- Promissory note (shtar hov) and 2 guarantors

\- 90 days' notice if we leave early, and we have to find a replacement tenant approved by the landlord

\- Landlord can also terminate with 90 days' notice

\- We have to repaint the apartment and repair nail holes before moving out

\- Apartment is rented "as is"

Does this sound pretty standard in Israel, or would you try to negotiate any of these terms? Anything here that seems unusual or unfair?

Thanks!
