Is it legal for a landlord to not pro-rate rent? For example, if I were to move out on June 2, is it legal for a landlord to charge me full rent of June?

If the lease terms don't specify pro-rated rent, the landlord might be persuaded to do so anyway and waive the right to collect the full amount.
