Last updated: April 13, 2025

For example, if your monthly rent is $1,200, dividing this by the total days in that month—let's say 30—sets a daily rent of $40. Therefore, if you occupy the unit for 10 days, your prorated rent would total $400. This method helps prevent overcharging and simplifies settling payments.
