Since you have declared that you do not plan to pay the June rent... the Landlord has told you that you need to be gone before June 1. The Security Deposit is NOT RENT MONEY. You are looking for some way to skip out on the Landlord. You know you owe the June rent. AND you know that the Security Deposit is to cover damages to the unit... NOT RENT. So you are trying to "play" the game. I will tell you this..I was once a renter in NJ. I went to court with my Landlord at the time. The Judge saw the truth and dealt with justice. He will see through your attempt at 'gaming the system' and you with lose. PAY THE JUNE RENT on time. Leave the unit clean and undamaged and you will get your SD back. Take pictures that document the condition when you leave.
