Question

When I signed lease and deposited 1st and last months rent. It states that it was the first month as security. The first month was free. this was the amount held by landlord. Do I have to pay landlord last month

Answer

Probably not. See your Lease and review the terms carefully. The lease you signed will provide the specific information to answer your question. Good luck! Sincerely, J. Norman Stark, Attorney / Architect Emeritus

Answer

The lease agreement controls. Have it reviewed by an attorney. If the last month was paid up front, you likely don't have to repay it only to have it refunded to you.
