  • No. Nearly all rental agreements say you must pay the last month's rent and then receive a refund, so technically you are in default of your rental agreement. If they want to stick it to you for even more than the amount of your deposit, they probably can. To qualify for a prorated refund, you would have had to notify them that you were leaving early, leave the place in absolutely tip-top shape, and they would have had to have someone move in early.
  • No because the agreement was that you stay for the full month so legally, you owe for that full month whether you left early or not. If the landlord agreed to keep the deposit for that last month instead of you paying him the last month's rent, then that's the agreement. If after you had moved out and it is going to cost the landlord additional money to fix/clean things, HE could bill YOU to pay him the cost of cleaning/materials/services/etc. If you refuse, it could end up in court.
  • I don't think it works quite this way. sounds like you are just looking for money and this idea will not fly. Read your contract. Your answer is there.
