<prompt> Human: I signed my first lease ever a few days ago. It starts in June and ends in May. Today, something happened at home and now I know I wont be staying at the place I leased until August. Thats two months later than expected.Since I already signed the contract, legally the landlord doesnt have to give me the money back for those two missing months. But I sent him an email politely asking if he was willing to do so anyways, and he refused because it would mean a loss of income.This of course makes sense to me, but since this is my first time leasing, I know very little about about how landlords work. Is it reasonable for him to refuse this, or is he just trying to cheat me out of money? Should I press him on it by complaining more strongly? I dont want to strain our relationship if theres no chance of me winning.  <response>: Its pretty unreasonable on your end to think youd get the money back after you signed a legally binding document saying youll pay rent from june to may.
