You cannot just use the deposit towards your last months rent, unless it is clearly written in a signed agreement that the deposit can be used as last months rent.
So, its not right to stop paying your rent, it will only add to an already awkward renting situation. The security deposit is just like it says it is, a security that you will leave the properpty in the condition you found it in.
I suggest you pay your last months rent, then things should be much better. Laws protect your deposit, so you shouldn’t fear not getting it back.
