Yeah that's not how rent works. You don't "pay up front", you pay the security deposit when you move in and then pay every month.
Also 10k would last you less than a year. You realize that you have to pay utilities in addition to rent right? Not to mention groceries, transportation (gas, insurance, car repairs, etc.). It's good to have some saved up for an emergency fund but the "income" you have right now at your "job" would not cover your living expenses and once that 10k runs out you'd not be able to pay your bills. If you could find anyone willing to tolerate living with you, you may be able to move out with a roommate or two.
