Washington State:
I signed a one year lease 3 years ago. I had to pay last month's rent. My rental period was from the 15th to the 15th (my rent was due on the 15th). On Oct. 9th I gave notice to vacate on the 31st. My rent at that point was paid thru Nov. 15th. My lease only states that I must give 20 days notice but says nothing about refunding last month's rent, etc. My landlord is refusing to refund me the 15 days that I had prepaid (nov 1st - 15th). Can he do this?
