Prorated rent is the amount of rent charged for a partial rental period, typically when a tenant moves in or out in the middle of a month. It's 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 example, if your lease begins on a day other than the 1st of the month, you will only be charged pro-rated rent for the days that you reside at the property during that that month. Thereafter you would owe full monthly rent payments.
Baker Street Properties strictly adheres to this formula and will never charge you hidden fees. We strive to be as transparent as possible for any additional charges.
For example, if your rent is $3,000/month and you will be residing at the property for 10 days that month, then your pro-rated rent would be: ($3,000 / 30) x 10 = $1,000.
Always check your lease agreement and local rental laws, as prorating policies can vary by location and landlord.
