Offering extra deposits to rent an apartment to make up for a problem?

I applied for an apartment and I let them know my credit is not so good, my current rental history is good, but my apartment before, I left my lease 2 months early for various reasons.

But I am willing to pay like an extra 3 months rent for a deposit, to show good faith. Do you think that could make a difference?

yes, that should make a big difference.

Your landlord can not legally accept it in CA.
