Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
Partial month rent
If there is no agreement that a 30 day notice is required, and I leave in the middle of the month am I entitled to receive part of the rent back?
After giving a 1 week notice the lady my friend was living with said she would refund 1/2 the rent and on the move out date she changed her mind and decided not to return anything.
Is this legal?

Re: Partial month rent
The landlord is legally entitled to 30-days notice of your intent to leave. On a month-to-month lease, the tenant is entitled to 30-days notice of any intent by the landlord to change the terms such as increasing the rent, but it is a two-way street. You owe the landlord the same courtesy. The landlord could could have demanded that you give a full 30-days notice and pay rent for that full 30 days.
