Did you think to put a 30 day notice in writing, and send it to whoever you rented the place from on January 31st? Every lease I've seen that is for one year rolls into a mnoth by month basis after the first year. Unless 30 days notice is given by one party or another.
Look up your state's law. I believe the owner or property management is right. You needed to give written notice you were planning to move, and now you owe for the next month because you did not. You can always send written notice with your rental payment.Be careful, because your state's rental law is probably going to side with the owner or rental company. And you do not want them to garnish you for the month you did not give notice for.
Go back to your lease, and reread it. Prepare for court if necessary.

Term leases are very common, at least in California. They have a beginning and an end date, and require no notice by tenant because the date that lease ends is already in writing. So it comes down to studying the lease.
