Your property manager is just doing her job. Your 30 days goes by just that.. 30 days. You have to pay your share of your rent for the number of days you live there. For you to not have had to pay that first week, you should have given your 30 day notice on the last day of the previous month. Then your move out date would have been on the last day of the month. Now if she's making you pay for the entire month, then that's a different story. But what you're being asked to do is nothing wrong. If you're having money problems, ask if your deposit can be put towards your week's rent. If you've been a good tenant, she might agree.

I don't know how it works in Georgia, but here in in NYC, as long as you move out of the apartment before the first day of the next month rent is due, you owe nothing and provided you left the place in good condition, you should receive your security as well. After that, you can divide the month's rent by the number of days in the next month and pay for only the days you actually stayed. Is there a clause in the lease that states that you must pay a full months rent if you stay for ANY part of the month?

Most properties require that you pay for a full month even if you will be staying there for only a portion of that month. It all depends on the lease or agreement that you have with the property. I know people that ended up having to pay for the balance of a lease agreement for many months after they moved out because they moved prior to the end of the agreement and the property could not fill the vacancy. If you only have a verbal agreement you maybe able to work with them better.

If you are staying for any part of the month you are liable for that month. It is reasonable to ask a renter to pay for any portion of the month.
If you look at it from a managment standpoint, they are out the money for that unit for the remainder of the month. What they are asking is not unreasonable.
