you have a unwritten lease " understood " if you paid rent every week you would have a week to week lease you have a month to month no refund when you paid that was what you paid for regardless if your there or not sorry thats how it works did you pay a deposit ? you can get that back if you leave the apartment in clean good condition sorry about your family issues good luck

You are on a month to month verbal tenancy. Your notice period is determined by state law. Typically it is 30 days. Unless there is a special local provision which allows you to leave with no notice, you would not get any rent reimbursement. Additionally, in most places the notice period is based on the payment period. Since you did not give notice before Sept 1, your earliest 30 day notice would be Oct 1-31. If that is the case you also owe for Oct.

No, you do not get a rebate on the rent. In most states, no lease means you are on a month-to-month base. Your room is held for the month, wither you choose to stay for the month is up to you. You accepted that penalty when you choose to leave that fast. You knew there were pro and con about going. This is one of them.

not likely, you paid for the month.... it is your problem you are moving

This is up to the home owner.

Chances are, No. If you've no legal binding agreement then the landlords/landladies view will simply be, "not my problem". If you choose to relocate for whatever reason then that decision is yours and yours alone and as such the landlord can bear no responsibility for your actions or movements. Unfortunately this is one of the risks you accepted when you rented with no contract. Sorry and hope family situ is okay.

I am renting a room in a house (there is no lease, no 30 day notice, nothing like that) and I paid September's rent, and am needing to move down south due to a severe family emergency. Should I be able to get the rent for the remaining two or three weeks back? I didn't know how the laws worked about prorated rent and stuff.
