I've been building a client dashboard in Next.js for about four months and I've defaulted to server components everywhere, dropping to client only when something genuinely needs state. I know that's the whole pitch of the app router, so I'm not after the docs answer. I keep running into the same thing in practice, where one interactive widget low in the tree drags three parents into client land anyway, and at that point I'm not sure my rule bought me anything.

How far into a project did that rule get before you stopped following it?

Under contract, closing in five weeks. Sellers want a 60-day rent-back so their kids can finish the school term, and offered to cover our mortgage payment but nothing more.

That's well under what the place would rent for, and we'd also be extending our current lease to bridge the gap. Our agent says don't rock the boat in this market.

Is mortgage-only standard on a rent-back, or do buyers usually get market rent? And is a security deposit typical for one this long?
