That's probably a yes.
But, if you give notice today, then you'd pay rent through the end of your notice period, not the end of the month. Always give notice in writing, and, it's not a bad idea to tell your landlord at the time of giving them notice that you will pay the prorated amount to the end of the notice period on the first.
When calculating how much your daily rent is, you generally use a 30 day figure, however, I tend to use whatever figure is more favorable to the other party because I don't want to argue about a few dollars.

If you have delivered a 30-day notice in a timely manner (more than 30 days ahead of the effective date), you will owe rent to and through the day you vacate, so the last month's rent will be a portion of a full month's rent.

It sounds like you are trying to give impropper notice. You have to give notice of your intent to vacate at the time the rent is due.
If you give notice in the middle of the month, you are still obliged to pay for the whole next month, unless the landlord will let you, but don't count on it.
The landlord can keep your cleaning deposit to retire any rent due, but if you haven't properly cleaned the place, you could come up short, and recieve a legal judgement against you.
If there is not significant damage or cleaning require, the landlord my simply report you to a collection agency, which will put a big back image on your credit rating.
What difference does that make you ask? Well, now days landlords use credit checks to determing if there are judgements against you, or outstanding debts due.
My suggestion, give notice on the 1st, like you are suppose to.
Good Luck.

When you move in you generally pay ahead. So if you move in on the 1st of July and give a 30 day notice the same day, then you don't have to pay on the first of August.
However, if you give notice in the middle of the month, you are responsible for the next 30 days, so you would owe for half August when you move out. UNLESS you can tell them you're ready to leave by the end of the month and they have someone ready to move in right away to start paying.
You should also see if you paid, first month AND last month as a deposit when you moved in. If you paid a deposit it can go toward your next month's payment as long as you leave the place in good condition.

Yes, your landlord will prorate the rest of it back to you. The reason is that people often overstay their notice. Most rental agreements specify that the entire month's rent is due on the first. An understanding landlord may compromise with you if you have an excellent relationship. In a big building this is unlikely.

You would only have to pay a pro-rate like if your rent was $500 you would pay $250 if you put your notice in on the 15th.

You are liable to pay for every day you reside there. Your lease should spell out exactly what you have to pay. If you are renting month to month, why do you think you should live for free? You stay, you pay. You need to know these things before you move in somewhere, not when you are trying to move out.

it depends if you paid first and last months rent when you moved in. if you gave your 30 days and paid your last months when you moved in then you dont have to pay. but if you didn't then your rent is due until the day you move.

I am pretty sure you would. Typically they want that. In some cases if your security deposit was one months rent you can use that.
