January was kind of excellent to me regardless many set backs and miss opportunities, I am still looking for a job and I am still organizing the house after #hurricaneMaria - The photo is from my last visit in #January to #Disney and I most likely won’t be back until October but have enough memories to last me until then. #toystoryland is opening in the summer but my #silverpass will be block then, the good thing about #disneyannualpass is that they #prorate the months and offer people to upgrade at a discounted price in the summer. It may be an option. #hellofebuary lets do this. (at Germany Pavilion at Epcot)

Should Landlords Prorate February Rent?

Should Landlords Prorate February Rent?

If rent is based on usage, it seems like you should pay less rent during the 28 (or 29!) days of February than you do in other, longer months. After all, the utility fees will be cheaper for that month (less water, gas, electric usage), and the apartment building’s service fees could even decrease (fewer days to pay for cleaning services, trash pickup, etc.). It’s an argument that some renters…

YSK: AT&T will not prorate the last month when canceling wireless service

YSK: AT&T will not prorate the last month when canceling wireless service

My account is billed in advance of the month. I canceled half way through the month but had already payed the full amount for it (auto-bill). The next bill showed a balance of $ 0 instead of a credit for the prorated amount of the service that I didn't use. I called customer service and talked to a rep and his manager who told me that they do not prorate the final month when canceling and that there was nothing they could do.

It was only $ 32 they owed me, but I'm never going back to AT&T for anything because of this.

Prorate Your Last Month’s Rent of a Month to Month Lease in California

In July of 2012 I was preparing to move from Santa Barbara to San Luis Obispo for a new job. I personally delivered written 30 day notice to my landlord on July 28th. My notice informed him that I would move out of my rented room on or before August 27th. A few days later my rent was nearly due, so I wrote my landlord a check for what I believed I owed him (why this calculation is incorrect later): (# days I’d occupy in August / # days in August) * my monthly rent (27/31)*$795 $692.42 I slipped the $692.42 check under his door and emailed him, explaining how I calculated the amount. He replied: Marc, The rental agreement you signed started on June 1, and is month to month, due on the 1st of each month. While I appreciate advance notice of your departure, you are bound by this agreement. The entire rent payment of $795 is due on August first. Thank you.

I’m no lawyer, but intuitively this seemed unreasonable. By his logic, if I had given him notice on July 5th, saying that I’d vacate August 4th, I’d be responsible for paying him all $795 in August rent when I’d only occupy the rental for 4 days, valued at $106. That seemed unfair. I was disputing $103 and believed it worth my time if I could figure out what was right in less than 3 hours. I was confident I could. I turned to Google, finding many partially resolved threads where someone had asked my question. Unfortunately, many of the threads were not specific to California and what I had read indicated that rental law varies state by state. I needed to determine who was right and, if I was right, I needed a credible source my landlord would believe so he would accept my prorated rent check without the issue escalating. I remembered that when I signed my lease my landlord assured me that the rental agreement was legit because it is the agreement the Santa Barbara Rental Property Association uses. Surely they would know who was right, but I worried they wouldn’t want to risk upsetting one of their members (my landlord) by helping me (a tenant) pay only what they were obligated to. I called them. I was wrong to have worried; the woman who answered graciously confirmed that I was correct and even went out of her way to calculate the amount that I owed my landlord for prorated August rent, $715.50. This amount differed from the $692.42 I had figured because prorated rent is calculated based on an average of 30 days in a month, regardless of how many days there actually are. Here’s the correct way to calculate the prorated August rent I owed: (# days I’d occupy in August / average of 30 days in a month) * my monthly rent (27/30)*$795 $715.50 I wrote my landlord a second check for $715.50 and emailed him back, explaining that I’d called and confirmed with the Santa Barbara Rental Property Association that I owed only prorated August rent calculated based on that average of 30 days in a month. I invited him to call the association himself and provided him with their phone number. The next time I spoke to him he had called the association and learned that I was correct. He accepted my prorated rent check for August. Victory! I stood up for what I thought was right (even if my motivation was money), even when there was a risk the disagreement could escalate and become a legal matter. I successfully found a way to diffuse the situation and retain the money belonging to me without exacerbating the dispute. I hope this post helps you do the same.
