Calculating prorated rent is a very important thing. We made this tool easy and efficient for you to use. To do so, follow these steps:
Let's say we are about to move into a new apartment in the middle of the month. For this example our move in date will be May 12th. Typically rent is $1,450 but we want to calculate our prorated rent rate to make sure we are paying the correct amount.
With the help of this tool, we can simply enter each value into its appropriate field, then hit calculate. We get our prorated rent to be $982.26 instead of the base rate of $1,450.
There is no single right way to negotiate prorated rent. A good way to start would be to keep it as professional as possible during the negotiation, whether it is over text, in person, or over writing in a letter. From there, make logical sense of the situation and why the prorated rent is fair, while explaining the math behind it if possible.
According to some online sources, landlords in California are not required to prorate rent for any reason.
