is the landlord liable to give a refund?Hello d:
 
No.  In fact, because you didn't give 30 days notice, YOU might be liable for another months rent.

As Excon wrote earlier in this thread, "It's not a good idea to piggyback your question onto somebody else's. ...".
 
But to answer your question, no.  
 
There is generally no right to pro-rate the month.  The tenant should have given a month's notice.  And, because for one thing the tenant didn't do so, the landlord is entitled to keep the full month's rent.  This is intended to give the landlord time to find a new tenant.  Acutally, if the tenant left with out notice, the landlord would probably be entitled to another month's rent as well.

Hello again, D:
 
Same answer.
