You would be wrong. Honestly, some of you are not reading this properly. I have no intention of "pulling a fast one". My 1 year lease started on Feb 12, 2011 and ends on Feb 12, 2012. I gave required 60-day notice on Dec 12 and move out date is Feb 12. I will pay up to that day, no more than that. Since my lease officially ends on Feb 12, 2012, I'm not paying beyond that date.
That is not what you said in your original post.

So why exacty would your LL be expecting a whole month's rent for February if your lease ends on Feb 12? That doesn't make any sense.
How about going to the leasing office and asking them what you owe for the partial month?
Now that would be just too simple. It's better to go on the internet, post a comment, wait for replies and then then their advice and *********rself.
so many issues on this forum could be worked out of the OPs just went to talked to their landlord or their tenant. Communication is the key...not the internet full of strangers.

You have paid 12 full months rent on a 12 month lease. There is nothing to pro rate.
If the first month's rent was prorated and you only paid a partial month (Feb, 12 to Feb 28, 2011), then you will owe a partial month for Feb 1 to Feb 12, 2012.
That's 1/2 month for Feb, 2011, 11 full months for Mar, 2011 through Jan, 2012, and 1/2 month for Feb, 2012. Twelve months total on a twelve month lease.
It all depends on how you paid the first month and when the lease ends according to your contract. If the contract says the lease ends on Feb 12, 2012 and you paid a full month when you moved in, you are even.
If you paid for half a month when you moved in but the lease was set up to end on the last day of Feb, then you owe for all of Feb. What you actually had was a 12 1/2 month lease.
