Nathaniel, thank you for responding. He's trying to say that since he turned the keys over on the 17th that he had no possession so I order him for the 17th through the end of the month.  Even that doesn't justify it for me because I only did his walk through on that day because he was going back to his home town which is an hour away.  Does him turning in his keys matter? The lease still ended on the 26th no matter if he had keys or not. 

Looking forward to your reply,  thanks!

I feel like this is a super stupid question but his start date for his lease was October 26th 2018 so I dated the end of it for October 26th 2019. He was trying to say that since he paid for it through the 31st he gets money back. Does this matter at all? I am just really trying to understand  and cover my bases. Thank you in advance!

 You are absolutely right and I now see that. 

Money order. I have the other half of the receipt.

 His lease was actually a year. Not a month. Does this change anything?

First-time landlord here so I'm still learning the ropes. My tenant gave me 30 days notice for his move out date which is supposed to be the 31st of this month. He came to me last week and told me that he would be gone by today. I returned his full deposit back to him which he deserved because he returned the apartment back to me in the condition it was a when he rented it. Then he asked me about the remaining balance. I was a little confused since he said he should also get prorated rent for moving out early. Is this the case and how do I handle this since his 30 days notice was for the end of the month?

if he is owed the prorated amount I have no issue returning it to him and I am still within the 30 days to return any and all deposits. I'm just looking for Clarity on the situation. I'm in North Carolina if it matters.

My tenants moved out on August 25th. No notice was given. I happened to see the U-haul in the yard and went outside to speak with him. That's when I found out they were leaving. They paid for 3 months up front which was supposed to be through the end of Sept. They left behind furniture, tables, electronics and a few more things which I and my boyfriend had to remove. He keeps asking for his deposit and is either trying not to understand why he shouldn't get it back or does not want to understand. I'm in NC and this is my first rental and my first situation like this but I am not sure how to proceed. 

Looking forward to your responses.

I live in a college town and while doing rent comps I noticed that the apartments here rent per room in each unit for the students. Can I do the same or do I need some type of permit/license or anything? If so, who would I contact to verify this?

Thx!
