QUESTION
Is it legal for my landlord to ask me pay the rent when the date the unit is available rather than the date I moved to my apartment?

More details to this question:
The apartment I applied for is available on April 03 but due to my work I cannot move in until April 5. I never signed anything yet and landlord says my rent will be charged beginning April 3 since that is when unit is available.

The lease should determine the date of payment. Typically due on 1st late after the 5th of a month. If it doesn't state then it's negotiable.

When the rent starts depends entirely on what you agreed to, even just verbally, with the landlord.
