How is prorated rent calculated and shown on the receipt?
Prorated rent is calculated by dividing the monthly rent by the number of days in the month to get a daily rate, then multiplying by the number of days the tenant will occupy the unit. For a May move-in on the 14th: $1,850.00 ÷ 31 days = $59.677.../day. Days occupied: May 14 through May 31 = 18 days. Prorated amount: 18 × $59.677... = $1,074.19 (rounded to the nearest cent). The receipt shows the monthly rate, total days in the month, daily rate, days occupied, and the resulting prorated amount so the tenant can verify the calculation.
Does the tenant pay full rent the following month after a prorated first month?
Yes. The prorated receipt covers only the partial first month. Starting the following month (June 1 in this example), the tenant pays the full monthly rent of $1,850.00. The prorated receipt should note the next full month's due date and amount so the tenant understands this is a one-time partial payment. Some landlords also collect the prorated amount and first full month's rent simultaneously at move-in, if so, the receipt can show both as separate line items totaling the combined move-in payment.
