Maybe 30 days notice in order to move but if you are there yes you have to pay the rent for August

You give your 30 day notice or whatever the contract requires. You are living there for those 30 days which means you pay the rent. When you move, you get your security deposit back within a reasonable time period. If you gave your notice on July 1st, you pay for 1-30. On July 31 you are out of the apartment and do not pay anymore. AND....NO LANDLORD WHO IS SMART WILL ALLOW YOU TO APPLY YOUR SECURITY TO THE LAST MONTH'S RENT! SECURITY IS QUITE SEPARATE FROM RENT.

Yes, you have to pay rent. You are occupying the premises for the month of August, you have to pay rent for that month. You have thirty days to move, but why you would think that time should be rent-free is beyond me. If you need additional money to move, you need to pick up a second job for the month and make it.
Now, if you paid first month and last months rents when you moved in, then NO, you have already paid for your last month. Please dont confuse your security deposit with the last months rent. They are two separate items. Also, if you are breaking the lease early, you may be penalized.
Good luck,

You have to notify your landlord thirty days befor you move. if you do and you've paid first and last and you are out of the residence within the thirty days you stand a good chance of getting you last months rent you put up as deposit back. but I wouldn't expect to not pay rent if you are still living in the place. Maybe a prorated rent could be worked out you pay for only the days you live in the residence in September

You can apply the security as the last month's rent. Make sure you give notice in writing and to allow them to use your security and this must be mutually agreed upon. They cannot touch it without your knowledge. The only time you cannot use the security as last month's rent is if there is damage to the apartment. They also have to give you 30 days notice in writing if they are asking you to leave. As long as you are out by Sept 1, you shouldn't have a problem.

Of course you have to pay rent if you are still maintaining a physical residence on the property.
There is no free lunch and the landlord can sue you for non-payment of rent per your applicable lease agreement.

No. You have to pay for every minute you live there. Did you not pay last months rent up front??? You need to re read your land lord tenant act. I have never heard of a land lord allowing 30 days free! lol. Silly.

Nothings free. I try to get them to take the deposit for last months rent, although they don't like it too much.

Yes, if you are not breaking a lease.
