This really depends on several factors, including but not limited to the length of the lease, the landlord/tenant laws in your area, and the overall relationship you have with the landlord.
Generally, however, this type of rental payment proposal applies to the length of residency.
For example, let's say you sign a 12-month renewable lease and move in during the middle of the month of October, 2006. The remainder of October would be rent-free and a pro rated amount will be removed from November's rent to complete the balance of a full month's rent.
Then you decide to renew your lease the following October (2007). Before you re-sign, make certain the previous agreement is carried forward to the current contract. You will continue your rental payments as per normal.
Then you decide to move out at the end of your current lease (October 2008). Assuming you give proper notice, there should be a pro rated amount due for the first half of September.
Thus, the first month's rent is deducted at the start of your occupancy and the last month's rent is deducted at the point of notice to vacate, as long as it is given at 30-days out.
Most landlords and companies that offer these types of leases require a security deposit that is at least the amount of a full month's rent, or require you to pay full price for at least the first month, then the pro rated discounts would be deducted.
Always ask for time to review a copy of the potential lease agreement/contract with your attorney before you sign. Even if you don't have an attorney, this gives you the opportunity to look it over in detail yourself, and sends a message that you will not be easily coerced into hasty decisions.

Only if the lease says so. Normally that is NOT the case.
If they're still running that special when your lease comes up for renewal, just ask for it. If they refuse, tell them that you'll move out if they don't give you the deal. But be prepared to move if they call your bluff. (If you've been a good tenant, they'll probably allow you to do that. Good tenants are worth their weight in gold.)

No if the owner decides to change the terms of the lease then you are at his mercy. It is not normal for an owner to give free rent so maybe what you got came from the goodness of his heart so dont expect to get it again.
If you maintained the place well ,I ,being a flat owner myself would give you consideration.

You need to discuss that before you sign your first lease. Sometimes you can renegotiate with your landlord when your lease is up. Otherwise it's just that one time deal.

If it were me. i'd opt for to keep the terrific months employ with the LL and pay the more desirable $50 on the proper of my tenancy. once you finally bypass you'll opt to come back up with new employ,deposit etc that is lots to pay out alongside with the terrific months employ on your modern-day position. even if, i'd communicate including your LL about this. reliable luck.
