I had a 1 year lease, scheduled to end October 30, 2000. When I mailed august rent I advised landlord, I would not be renewing lease. meanwhile I had need to move by October 1, 2000. I referred a friend of mine who was looking for a home to my landlord . I have moved and my landlord has rented the house to my friend, she has signed a lease effective October 1, 2000. The landlord is keeping my security deposit to cover October rent due to my movong 1 month early. Can he charge rent from me as well as another tenent for the same month?
