Paying rent after moving out and 2 months before end of tenancy - where do I stand please?

I am two months before the end of a year tenancy agreement. I've had to move for personal reasons.

LL is saying she wants me to pay rent until the end of the tenancy or until she re-lets the property. In 6 weeks there have been two viewings and no takers. It's an expensive rental.
I suggested I don't pay next months rent and she keep the deposit which is more than a months rent and I have not damaged the property - in fact I had the garden landscaped as it was so awful.

Where do I stand on this? She said no to my suggestion.

I don't believe she's allowed to take to deposit as rent, assuming she's put the deposit in a deposit scheme as legally required. So you can't insist she does it I'm afraid.

You could ask her to agree to end the tenancy early on the basis that she takes the deposit in lieu I suppose.
