On a month to month rental situation, with no lease aggreement, is it legal for landlord to refuse to give security deposit back, due to the fact that he was only given 2 weeks notice?

Terminating a lease
I have lived in the same apartment for 1year and 3 months. When i renewed my lease i chose the 6 month lease option on my application because i knew if i got into college this fall i would probably be moving in august. So i am getting all my college plans schedualed and i call to see what the fee will be to break the lease. I have always known it to be one months rent due at departure.The property manager said ‘no, there is no fee your just responsible for rent up unitil march unless we find someone else to rent it. I was like hold up, 7? No it should be 1 b/c i only signed a 6 month lease—she said ‘we dont have six month leases’ so i asked for a copy of my recertification and she said ‘we dont give out copies of that but if it said 6 months it was for one of our other properties’ this is ridiculous–as far as i’m concerned if its on the application then they need to own up to it—-b/c if they would have told me they only do 1 year leases i would have found somewhere else to live or done month to month. Isnt there any type of clause about going to school or moving due to a transfer with your job. I know the people at my complex wont even try to rent it out if i am responsible for paying for it anyway. . Please help!!

death and termination of rental agreement
My Mother died 5-22-07 and was a tenant in an apartment complex. I’m not sure if she was on month to month or year lease, but think it was month to month. She was the only one one the rental agreement .The day she died my husband gave a 30 day notice to the manager- thinking it was the right thing to do. We then received a notice of pro-rated rent due for June. My mother died with no money, no will and no belongings. Also, her pension check and social security check will not be delivered for June, as I have informed them of the date of her death. She has $0 in her checking account and no savings account. Do I have a legal responsibility to pay her pro-rated rent for June- being that my husband gave the 30 day notice? She has a $500.00 security deposit with them, but that doesn’t cover the rent due. Plus the unit, which we have already cleaned of her belongings and straightened up, will need to be cleaned, carpets cleaned and walls painted. Thank you for your help in this matter.

In Virginia, as a homeowner, If I rent a room in my home, for $400 per month, on a month to month basis, and someone pays me only $200 after agreeing verbally to rent the room on the 1st of the month, but hasnt moved in yet…and on the 8th cancels the agreement, verbally, because they lost their job, do I by law have to refund their money?
