Landlord demands extra rent due to 30 days notice

Hi, I was on the last month of my 6 month lease and planning to move out. I called on earlier last month about this and again this month. The landlord says that because I did not send a written notice that I will be moving out within 30 days, they can charge me for the next 30 days including a partial rent for next month. I checked over the rental agreement and it does say that each party must give the other one 30 days written notice to vacate. Do I have any other recourse for not paying for extra days rent for next month? I won't even be there and hope there is something I can do to avoid paying for those days. Thanks

Not really. The lease is a binding contract.

Are landlords willing to work something out in these circumstances? I am thinking of asking them if they will give me a credit if I vacate early and allow them to take back the unit early. They are a management company however so I don't know if this will work.

It cannot hurt to ask and see if they will work with you. But know if they do not you must adhere to the Lease.
