Before you jump to answers...
In most States (in US), it's illegal to use the deposit as a payment
for last month's rental.
The Question: In ONTARIO, CANADA... as per the Residential Tenancies Act
can I use the last month's deposit to pay the rent?
Before I occupy the house, landlord asked me to pay first & last month RENT.
This may or may not be considered as a "security deposit" ?
Can you please read the following two caluses before you answer? :-)

I'm not a lawyer... that's why I needed to take an "opinion" about what are the above clauses/articles mean?
Thanks :)
