Paying a year in advance

Hi there,
we are having a mini dispute with are nice landlord. We paid a years rent in advance December last year. Now we are in December and the landlord is saying we need to pay for this month.
This seems odd to me I though we would be fine until January rent was due.
Am I wrong here?

it will depend when you paid the first payment and what you paid.
When did your tenancy agreement run from?
have you taken into account rent is paid in advance and not arrears?
you have not really given enough information for anyone to really answer your query.
Have you asked your LL for a breakdown of the lumpsum to establish the period of rent it covered,that may help you to find out when your next payment for rent is due.
a payment in December last year to cover the period 1st dec onwards would mean that 12 payments would take you to nov 30th therefore a further payment being needed if you were then to cover dec onwards.in S 38 T 2 F 50

Did the amount you paid in advance also include a deposit (i.e. 11 months rent and 1 month as a deposit)?0
-
December to December inclusive is 13 months.
Need the details, but your LL is probably right.0 -
How much is your monthly rent and how much did you pay? Did that amount include the deposit?0
-
You paid in December 17 for December 17, January-November 18. Twelve months.
December 18 is month 13.0 -
* exact date tenancy started?
* Is tenancy a monthly one or annual one? (what does the contract say exactly?)
* Exact date and amount of first rental payment (excluding any deposit or other fees)?
* period covered by that payment?
* amount and date of any deposit paid?
* wording in contract (if any) regarding what happes at end of fixed term?0 -
We paid the full year in advance on the 18th of December £15.000. We also paid £1800 as deposit our rent is £1250.
I think it is probably right that we start paying again in December. I am just use to having the whole months rent in advance.0 -

Did you move in on the 18th December?
If so your 12 months runs to the 17th and rent is due again the day after that.0 -

Doesn't matter when they moved in, its the date they got the keys and the tenancy started. Tenants don't always move in at the start of a tenancy.Mr Generous - Landlord for more than 10 years. Generous? - Possibly but sarcastic more likely.0 -

Yep, true, should have said when did the tenancy start rather than when did you move in.
OP that's what I meant!0
