Some states have laws that say a landlord cannot refuse the rent, if the tenant has all the rent owed. If the tenant only has some of the rent, all the statutes I know of also say that the landlord can reject a partial payment. Many landlords will say, "Look, if you don't have it all, keep what you have, and use it to move."

Yes, of course.

Now since the English language can be ambiguous, let's focus on the word "demand".

Legally, it is a fine word.

On the street, it might mean stand there threateningly.

The landlord must behave (and so should you).

The landlord will not say a 'No' until and unless you are planning to stay at the property. If you are planning to leave then landlord does enjoys the leisure of getting rent till the month of you stay after that you are not liable to pay anything to the landlord. In other case if you are short on money due to some reasons then the landlord can refuse for that time and ask you to pay that rent in the next month.
