I do not know exactly what you are asking here. First, you are a month to month tenant if the lease is no longer in effect. If you are the only occupant of the apartment the landlord does not have a right to ask anyone else for the money and really it is not prudent for him to disclose the information regarding your financial situation to any one. Is this a violation of a privacy right? Maybe. Your state law will govern how you can handle the matter if you choose to pursue it. Good luck.
