What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
We have lived in this house since October 2014. We entered the lease with the security deposit and 1st month's rent. We renewed the lease in December 2015 on the same terms. We were issued a new lease in November 2016 on the same terms, but our roommate told us and the landlord that she was moving out. We told the landlord we want to renew our one-year lease, and we would search for a new roommate and have everything completed by 02/01/2017.
On 01/17/17, I told the landlord that we found a new roommate and we were ready to pay the security deposit and first month's rent. Upon telling him, he also requested that we provide the last month's rent on top of the first and security deposit. I cannot reasonably pay this amount in such a short time frame. Can he request this from us? What are my rights?
