Any rent received is just that: payment for the right to live in a rental unit. Advanced rent basically means the tenant has paid X amount of dollars for his rent. If this amount exceeds the month's rent then the extra amount is applied towards future month's rent up to the amount received.

Is it legal for a landlord to withhold a key from his tenants until everyone has paid the first months payment?

Generally speaking, a tenant does not become such until he has been handed the keys to his dwelling. If the landlord has not received his first month's payment, this is the same as in not receiving the rent, which is payable in advance. Therefore the landlord does have the right to withhold the key.


Is the rent paid for future months a liability?

Yes, rent paid for future months is considered a liability. When a tenant pays rent in advance, it creates an obligation for the landlord to provide housing for that period. This prepayment is recorded as a liability on the landlord's balance sheet until the time period for which the rent was paid has elapsed.

In court, the tenant is on the losing end of this argument.The only thing that you can do is secretly record yourself requesting receipts from the landlord for a specific time period and record him refusing to give you the receipt.This is your proof that the landlord collects your rent but that he does no give you receipts.When a judge sees the video or hears the recording your landlord is screwed.Be slick - your landlord is.
