It should be approximately $137.00 for the last 6 days of January. Is there a security deposit added into that amount also? Most landlords are going to charge a security deposit and that might be what the difference is.

Take the days in the month (or period of rental) and divide them into your monthly rent and then multiply that times the number of days you will live in the apartment. Now you can do it this time and next time too.
If that doesn't give you their figure, ask for an explanation of exactly what you are paying for. Also, you seem like you don't understand to much about what you are doing, so be sure to read your lease very carefully and be sure you understand every concept in there. You are legally bound by the contract you sign. Leases can be changed if both parties agree and are not set in stone. Be sure you understand exactly what is expected of you and what you expect of your new landlord, like when can they come in your apartment, what will they fix if broken, what happens if you lose your job or have to move and your lease isn't up, or roommate splits and on and on. Think ahead about all the things that could happen to you and are there contingencies in the lease that will cover you. And then consider what could happen to them-like they sell the place. Is your lease good with new owner, how and when will they fix things, etc. Get everything stated in the lease or have them add what you think is necessary. You both initial changes and then you sign the lease. If you've already signed, read it carefully. They aren't joking. Don't learn the hard way.

You're leasing for 6-7 days? $403 is more than half of $711!

Yes, $ 403 is way more than half! Are they trying to get over on you already? Don't let them. Unless that fee includes a portion for security deposit, your prorated rent for january should be $137.61-unless your rent is not due on the 1st.
If your rent is due Feb 1, ask them why they are charging you more than is owed.
Good luck!
