Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
Rental properties
We rented a house and paid rent until 6/30 as per our lease. We moved out on 6/16 returned the keys etc. The property manager rented the house. I asked if we could get June's rent prorated. They said they didn't collect rent until 7/1. I feel this is not right legally because we paid rent,and had a lease until the 30th. We moved in 3 days early and they made us pay for those days. What is the legal right of this?

You don't have the right to get the prorated rent back if you surrendered possession of the property on the 16th.
