I moved into my new apartment on Nov 26 and my rent needs to be pro-rated. Let's assume my monthly rent is $1000, and from Nov 26-30, that's 5 days, so my rent for Nov should be $1000 / 30days *5days, or it could be $12,000 per year / 365 days * 5 days. But, my landlord says it is $1000 / 30 * 6 days, because my rent is paid from Nov 26 through Dec 25 and he is pro-rating Dec 26-Dec 31.
First of all, it makes no sense to pro-rate it that way, if so, I should just pay rent on the 26th of every month! Second if you want to pro-rate it based on December, it should be $1000 / 31 days * 6 days (since Dec has 31 days!)
He is threatening to evict me, which I dont think there's a basis for. I know it is $30+, but it is just a matter of principle that I am very upset about. Not to mention, his rental agreement states "if you do not move in on the first day of the month, rent will be pro-rated to the first day of the succeeding month"
