Vacating a house 2 months before end of lease. Do I pay rent or does security deposit cover?

lease house

I am moving out of a leased house on May 5 with 2 months of rent remaining. My landlord says I need to pay her rent as it is due in May and June, then she will send me my security deposit because the security deposit cannot be used for last months rent. I believe that this applies to the last month that I am physically in the house (April). In California, landlords must return deposit within 21 days of vacating the apartment. My security deposit was for 2 months rent. Am I wrong to assume that we should just “settle up” after I vacate the apartment in May using the funds from the security deposit?
Since the security deposit is due to me within 21 days after I move out, are we not just “swapping” money? She has already inspected the house and found no major damages.
That’s the point I am trying to make. if she inspects the house and no damages are found, why would I give the landlord more money and wait for her to send me a check. I am paying my bills and have no additional liability to the landlord.

How can people buy another house when they already have one?

buy house

I mean, say a person wants to move and buy another house

But they already have a house and a mortgage to pay on it.

How are they able to just sell the house and go and buy another one?

I mean, what happens to the mortgage on the old house? Don’t they still have to pay it off? What about all the money they put into the mortgage and equity?

Get a Real Estate Agent or try to sell condo myself?

sell property fast

I purchased my 1bdrm condo in Atlanta less than two years ago and feel I will be lucky to sell it now at my purchase price. We must move in August. I don’t want to loose money, and I fear I might once agent commission gets factored in. Also, in theory, selling w/o an agent would allow me to drop the price to move the property faster. Is it feasible that I could sell my condo myself in less than 8 months, given the current market? Or, since I must sell by August, is it wiser to get an agent’s help Now? What exactly will an agent do for me that I could not do myself?
