How this number is made
Prorated rent is the monthly rent times the days you occupy, divided by the day-count the lease uses. Some leases use 30 days. Some use the actual days in the month. Type the one your lease uses.
- Days you owe are the days from move-in through the end of the period, if that is the deal.
- Basis is 30, or 28, 29, or 31, matching the lease.
Formula
Prorated rent = monthly rent × days owed ÷ days in the basis.
Worked example
With the figures already in the form, rent for those days is $800.00.
Questions
Which day count is fair?
The one written down. A 31-day month divided by 30 charges a little more per day. Agree before you pay.
Is the deposit prorated?
No. A deposit is not rent for those days.
