I paid a security deposit, the rent is due on the 5th of the month. I am totally vacating on the 9th. For this month of december that is 17.74 per day. So from the 5th until the 9th is 4 days. So I should owe her 71 dollars. She is trying to say she can charge me for a whole weeks worth of rent is that possible? She is having a tenant move in the next day. She is trying to say I owe her 124.19(weeks rent) so that would mean I could stay until the 12th technically. What do you suggest? can anyone help me find a citation regarding this? this is in NY state.

it was a verbal contract, so it wasn't stated.

The lease you signed when you moved in should govern and should support either the landlord's position (1 weeks rent) or the tenant's (pay for the number of days). What about number of days notice required.
Pay attention to the details in your written lease document.

Check your lease. Mine says the landlord can charge for an entire month's rent depending on when I choose to move out. If she has it in writing and you signed it, you really are out of luck.

What did your contract say when you signed it? All the logics aside, you did agree to certain terms. If it did say, no partial payments or credits, yes, it is entirely possible.
