How is rent calculated if I move in partway through a month?

If your tenancy starts partway through a calendar month, we normally calculate a pro-rata rent amount for the remaining days of that month. Regular monthly payments then start on the first of the following month.

We use the actual number of calendar days in the first month to calculate the daily rate, unless your signed tenancy specifies a different method.

Example

Suppose the monthly rent is £1,800 & your tenancy starts on the 16th of a 30-day month.

• Daily rate: £1,800 ÷ 30 = £60.
• Days from the 16th to the 30th, inclusive: 15 days.
• Part-month rent: 15 × £60 = £900.
• Normal rent of £1,800 then falls due on the first of the next month.

We will set out the precise dates & figures in your payment breakdown so you can verify them before signing or paying.

Any advance rent limits under English or Irish law still apply.
