Re: Tenant rental
A landlord cannot force a tenant to pay advance rent other than what is required in the contract. A landlord has no right to take action against you until you have failed to pay the rent when it is due. As a practical matter, you may wish to provide your landlord a post-dated check with explicit instructions not to cash until the date provided.

No, The landlord cannot force you. You have to comply the terms and condition of the agreement. The landlord cannot take the law in his own hands.
