I live in L.A. and I am on a month to month rental agreement. I want to leave by the end of the month. Can I still give less than 30 days notice of my leave without having to worry about paying next month for any reason & and also maybe even get some of my security deposit back after maybe $200 in repairs ($750 per month rent cost)?

If you give less than 30 days notice, then you would be obligated to pay the remainder of the month. The only time you would not is if your landlord agrees not to charge you for it. It doesnt hurt to ask.
An if youve been there less than 2 years, there may be things you have to pay for like painting, carpeting, broken drawers, holes in the walls, etc. If there 2 years or more than there should be what they call 'normal wear and tear' so you wouldnt have to cover painting or carpet cleaning.

it is mostly so. once you've rented month to month your landlord is likewise required to furnish you a 30 day be conscious. If renting over a three hundred and sixty 5 days, the owner is had to furnish you a 60 day be conscious. no longer giving the 30 day, would effect your protection deposit, no longer continually besides the undeniable fact that. some landlords will paintings with you in case you've been an effective tenant, others will paintings with you in the adventure that they prefer you out faster, I actually have seen and had both. attempt the AOA or position of living vendors association

It would be better if you would talk to your landlord and see if you can leave early without being penalized. You need to understand the predicament that you would put them into. If you leave without proper notice they would lose money because they would have no time to advertise the property's availability to others and I'm sure they have mortgage payments and other expenses they have to pay. But being that as it may you need to look at the legal consequences; to that end you might want to do your research in these links:

it all depends on what type of person your landlord is.
