What if the landlord says he won't give me a deposit when the rent expires?

Hello, legal question: I signed a lease contract with the landlord for half a year. This contract expired this year. I didn't renew it, but the rent has been paid quarterly. Now I want to move, and I have informed the landlord in advance, but the landlord now says that the rent for last month will not be refunded. Is it reasonable to only refund the deposit if I move early? Lawyer Zhou: Unreasonable. The contract has expired. Just pay the rent according to the number of days you actually rent. Lawyer Fang: The landlord's practice is unreasonable. If a fixed-term lease contract is not signed, it is regarded as an indefinite lease contract, and both the lessee and the lessor can terminate the contract at any time. When the contract is terminated, the rent shall be paid according to the actual lease term.
