Confusing query; rent cannot go up during the lease.
Yes you can. Your landlord cannot use your last month's rent as security deposit and vice versa.
Almost never.
Most states have laws that say you do.
Yes. If you mean 'the rent for last month', certainly. If you mean the 'last month rent deposit', probably, if the rental agreement states that the deposit was to have been funded.
No, you are not required to pay last months rent again. Just make sure you are not mistaking it for the security deposit. Rent and security deposits can be the same amount. Check your rental agreement for clarity. Julie

It is very common for a landlord/rental agency to require first and last months rent and a security/damage deposit. Check local/state renters laws to ensure your rights.
That's legal in every state I know of.
Yes.
I am not getting my rent in time from my tenant who is a business man in Chennai for the last 20 years. I will get cheque from him after 4 or 5 months rent at a time. I can't say anything wrong about him. Because he always giving respect to me and telling that I am like his elder brother. He has not paid rent for the last 3 months from April'08.
You can't apply a last month's rent deposit unless this is your last month (or, in your case, the last two months). I don't know what state you are in, but it is unusual to give a two month deposit. If you have a rental agreement that requires 60 days notice to terminate, I guess that would make sense. But, unless you've given notice, then, yes, a prudent landlord would give a late notice.
