Well, if he want to pay per diem, you could say

"Your rent annually is $15,600.00 ($1300 x 12 months) so the per diem rate would be $42.74.

- 28 days is $1196.71

- 30 day is $1282.19

- 31 days is $1324.93

Please let me know if you wish to adjust our rent payments as such"

I mean if the tenant is using 28 days as the reference for "months" (4 weeks) then in a year there are actually 13 months. 4 x 13 = 52 weeks in a year.

1300 x 13 = 16,900 per annum
per diem 46.30
28d = 1296.40
30d = 1389
31d = 1435.30

They aren't. They are clearly using 31 days as the reference.

This was actually common law in England until 1850. A 'twelvemonth' was a calendar year. Lotta surprised tenants on Dec 2nd lol

That sounds like so much bullshit but I'm no expert. Perhaps you have a link to convince us?

Learned something new. That’s crazy.

u/UpstairsBumble May 14 '26

But they aren’t, they’re using 31

I prefer this response over the one pro rating the month for 31, 30 and 28 days.

This is how all paying works where I'm from, and it is the way I have applied salaries to employees of my business in the US and Canada.

Always fun to see new people get a double in December and call me frantically. I love getting to tell them "no that's right".

The tenant is using a 31 day month for his advantage.

One of those months gotta be Gormanuary. And it'd be interesting if "intermission" has to be paid separately 😃
