I 100% understand where you’re coming from and especially if you have a good relationship with your landlord it wouldn’t hurt to politely request a prorated refund of part of the last month’s rent. However, if they refuse it’s unlikely to be worth your time and/or money to pursue it further.

Since the landlord presumably didn’t pressure you to move out early and you turned in the keys it’s well within normative practice to look for the next tenant ASAP. And if you were under a lease it’s normative for them to expect full pay for your lease term even if you choose to move out early. The law might provide some specifics that would be in your favor beyond that but I have my doubts - it’s just one of the downsides of renting. Unless the landlord just decides it’s the nice or ethical thing to do you’re probably out that money.

There is a lease? One you signed? If so, you should’ve probably kept the keys to the agreed upon date. You handing in the keys was an informal forfeit. You can try and get a lawyer and try to get some money back since essentially landlord is double dipping but that will probably depend on when the new tenant’s lease was signed and their agreed upon date. You’re going to have to decide of the lawyer fees are worth the gamble and the money you’d get back. This isn’t legal advice, I’m not a lawyer.

Interesting counterpoint. Could you show me where in my comment I asserted that my goal was to “deter crime 100%”? Why must that be a standard, and what is your basis for it?

What is your best evidence in support of that claim?

Nope, I know the forums. If you actually put more information I. People could help you more. You never stated when you got it.

Yeah, I would never ever trust legal advice from someone on Reddit. You have no guarantee what they are telling you is correct. Hey, you do you. I would contact a lawyer, but I don’t care what you do.
