A landlord cannot charge 2 different tenants rent for the same month in the same unit. So if you moved out early, say by May 1 , but the LL is charging you for the full month of May, then he cannot charge anyone else for May's rent for that unit. If he is, then he cannot list on your sec. dep. statement, an amount you owe him for May's rent. It does not matter how he found another T, or how much it cost him to find one.
