I paid rent for September, I will be moving out on the 17th of September, I was just informed by the new manager that I would have to move in asap, I'm going to give 30 day notice to where I currently live now, i want to know does the manager have to pro rate for this month since I already paid the rent for the entire month and im only going to be there 2 weeks. Where can I go on the web to see more information on this topic. thank you..

He doesn't have to because you moved up the time you are moving but if he chooses to he will pro rate it.

They don't HAVE to. But a depending on the management they might if they fill the unit before the end of the month because they technically wouldn't be losing any money. For example when I left my last apartment I paid all of the rent but was out by the 14th they had a new family in place by the 17th so I paid until the 17th and they pro rated the rest. Because the new tenants had to pay for the time they are there

Where I live, in Washington, you have to give a 20 day notice, by the 10th of the month in order to avoid penalties. If your old apartment is rented before the end of the month, example: you move out on the 17th and your apartment is rented on the 21st then the company should refund money owed to you.
You should contact the Tenants Union or Attorney Generals Office in your state to get info on your rights as a tenant. My parents were landlords for over 17 years. Each states law may differ. You can always contact an attorney to receive free advice.

Your best bet is to speak with the property manager directly an explain. People are usually reasonable, especially since you've already paid the month's rent and you're only a couple of days off. Talking is free, we should all do more of it to the point of understanding.
Good luck!

no, im sorry, when you move in you can get prorated rent, i did...but when you move out, you give a 30 day notice, you should have given the 30 day notice on august 17th, in order not to pay for the whole month. but unfortunatly you have to pay 30 days worth of rent, thats what they require...it sucks i know, i went through it before..

You would have to refer to your lease as that is what you agreed upon. If you do not have a lease it will be pretty much up to the whatever the landlord wants to do.
Good luck.

That's the cost of doing business. They definately don't have to prorate Sept. for you.
