Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

I am not certain how to put the question for comprehension. I am moving and give the apt manager 30 days notice. The date of notice is Sept 18. I am in CA.

Q. Do I have to pay any money for October if I move out on the Oct 1st..

Q. Can I stay until 18th and pay for 18 days?

Thanks

If you are under a month-to-month rental agreement the answers are:

1. If you gave notice 9/18 you owe rent through 10/18, unless the landlord moves in a new tenant sooner.

2. Since you have to pay for the 18 days, of course you can stay. But if the landlord can find a new tenant sooner, and you can move out sooner, you save money.
