Can I move out of apartment without paying last month's rent?

Question

Hi,
I would like to move out of my apartment without paying the last month's rent, because I've heard that my landlord doesn't return the deposit to anybody.
The apartment is supposed to be rent stabilized but it's not.
My lease expired a month ago and my landlord has raised the rent and gave me a one month to think,without a written notice, just verbally.
I live in NY city
Thanks for help

Answer 1

Tell your Landlord you're moving & to return your Deposit. If he refuses- don't give him his rent. That way you'll pretty much break "even..." :)
