To ensure incoming tenants have the ability to pay, we always charge full rent on the first month, and prorate the next month’s rent.
When a tenant moves in, we prorate rent for the 2nd month based on the move-in date. For example, if a tenant moves in on September 16 and their rent is $1,000, they would pay $1,000 upon move in and then would owe half the normal rent amount ($500) on Oct 1st.
