You could

-talk to him about adjusting some of the amount as the last few months rent. He will normally disagree, but if you push, it is possible.
Some folk just stop paying rent, telling the landlord, adjust it.

-50k is not a lot of money, and laws about repatriation are easier now. You could just cash money officially to cover this amount, so you have the 'encashment certificate'.
