No, it's not. As long as both sides release each other from any residual liability connected with the lease and your occupancy of the space, and you get your deposit returned, there's no issue. You might want to show it to a lawyer on the cheap and get a quick up-or-down.

Not usual or customary unless called for in the lease agreement.
