Prorated rent is simply the way to work out how much rent is due when a tenant hasn’t been in the lodgings for the full billing cycle. For example, they move into your property on the 14th of the month but the billing cycle begins on the 1st of the month. You have to work out how much rent they owe for the 16/17 days remaining in that billing cycle.
You will need to calculate prorated rent to accurately reflect the amount of time your tenant has actually stayed in your property. If a tenant had moved into the property half way through a monthly lease period, this calculator is useful to figure out how much the tenant needs to pay.
