Depends on where you are, but yeah, that's kinda steep.

The manager said that I need to make a copy of my social secruity/driver license/major credit card. Is this normal?

It's highly unlikely although I wouldn't doubt it, I'd look into other apartments in the neighborhood under different management and just see if they also require that as well. I remember having to show proof of social security and credit as in show up to the manager's office and bring him the documents to see it, but I don't remember having to leave him with copies of documents that can theoretically lead to identity theft.

He also said they do not accept checks for the montly rents and only cash because of some processing fee. Is this normal?

Most places do take cashier's checks in place of cash. Personal checks not being accepted I can understand, but only having cash as payment option is quite lame.

Also, the downpayment is 800 something in cash. I'm really worried and the only thing I did was write a check for $100. Some help would be appreciated. Thank you.

The manager not taking checks and only accepting cash is strange to me. Everywhere I've gone, I've managed to pay in cashier's check at least if not a personal check. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "$100 in check was the only thing I did." In this manager's case, I'd look around a little more before deciding; it looks like it can be a potential scam, although like I said it may just depend on the area you're looking into.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
