Does the landlord have to prorate a month if the tenant is not living there?

Whether a landlord must prorate rent for a month when a tenant is not living there depends on the lease agreement and local laws. Generally, if the tenant has not officially terminated the lease or given proper notice, they are still responsible for the full rent amount. However, if the tenant vacates the property and the lease allows for proration or if the landlord agrees to it, then prorating may occur. It's best for both parties to review the lease terms and communicate openly to reach an agreement.
