    How to calculate pro-rata rent - 30 days or 31?

    Hi. For the purpose of calculating pro-rata rent, should I define a month as 30 days in duration or 31?

    (I am moving out of my flat on Feb 12th and I pay my rent on the 20th of each month. My final payment will therefore consist of 23 days rent, but I'm not sure whether to divide my monthly rent by 30 or 31 to work out the pro-rata daily rate...)

    Any help much appreciated!

      Neither. The usual way is to multiply the monthly rent by 12, and divide that number by 365 to get the daily figure.

        I never thought of doing it that way. Maths was never my strong point!

        Many thanks.

          Sounds like some education in how to be a landlord might be wise. When I started I thought I knew what I was doing. I didn't, expensive, stupid, mistakes! If you think education is expensive, try ignorance....

          Hi all,

          I am a new landlord and looking for some help with the AST.

          I have created a tenancy agreement which is now ready for signing.

          The tenancy agreement is due to start on the 1st July.

          Can the tenancy agreement be signed before the move in...

          Agreed, break clauses very very easy to get wrong.

          Much simpler, easier, more flexibility to evict, fixed term 6 months then periodic....

          Hi All,

          I want to add the following break clause into my AST, but I’m wondering if I do so, do I also need to give my tenant also a break clause?

          ‘The Landlord may terminate this agreement by giving the Tenant not less than 2 months' written notice expiring [on or at any...

          Well you have heard the opinions of a great many very experienced landlords........ you are taking a very big risk with this, you say you don't need the money, so why take the risk ? Leave it empty and come back to it still....... empty, there is zero guarantee they will move out, friends or not.

          I cannot find a definitive answer to my question by googling so here goes.

          I have a house that I wish to allow a family who are close friends to live in while I live abroad as UK non-resident. I am trying to work out what sort of contract I should make between us.

          I don't mind...

          You created the AST, or you got it from somewhere?

          You can get the AST signed before someone moves in (how soon would they actually move in?) and when are you giving the keys?

          You should have a Guarantor's specific agreement if your going down that route, these days they can...

          Generally yes, landlord only break clause is an unfair term. There's really only very limited reasons to have break clause in typical residential letting. Just do a 6 months fixed term and then let it roll periodic.

          If the landlord does this then the storage company would come after him as it's he who has the contract witht them, not sure i would do this. I would though ask the Police to pass on the ex lodgers legal representitive, he or she will be in contact with the alleged offender and they can ask him what...
