Prorated indicates a change in price based on a variable, in this case we are basing it on the date of the move in or moving out of a tenant. So this calculator gets the new prorated rent price based on the date the person is moving in or out so they are not being charged for the entire month when they will not be there the entire month.
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.
