Understanding Prorated Rent
What is Prorated Rent?
Prorated rent is the amount you pay for a partial month based on the number of days you occupy the property.
When is it Used?
Commonly used when moving in or out mid-month, ensuring fair payment for both tenant and landlord.
How is it Calculated?
Daily rate = Monthly rent ÷ Days in month. Prorated rent = Daily rate × Days occupied.
Legal Requirements
Most states require landlords to prorate rent fairly. Always get the calculation in writing.
Common Scenarios
- Moving in on the 15th of the month? Pay for roughly half the month.
- Moving out on the 10th? Only pay for the first 10 days.
- Starting a lease mid-month often results in two partial payments (first and last partial months).
