If a tenant leaves before the end of a rental period do I need to reimburse rent?

No – Where the rent is payable in advance (as in most agreements), the landlord is entitled to the whole of the rent that was due on the last rent day before termination even though the tenancy has come to an end in the middle of the rent period. [Ellis v Rowbotham 1900 1 Q.B. 740].

Rents paid in advance are not subject to apportionment (Apportionment Act 1870).
