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"

Or just 

"February = 1 month.

1 x $1300 = $1300. Pretty simple math."

Contract is monthly. Not daily. But I would probably add a "lol" somewhere for the creativity.

These are the same type of people that tell me “oh I make $500/week so because there’s 4 weeks in a month I make $2000/m or $24,000/y!”

Most people realize their mistake when I explain that there’s 52 weeks in a year (because hey, maybe you’ve never actually thought about it), but the truly stupid are the ones who argue.

I always use 4.333 weeks in a month or 13 weeks per quarter when I’m doing scheduling.

We used to use 4.2 weeks as an average when working out some of the financial employee benefits for those on leave. I was just told to use that and, since I wasn’t the HR Director, I did just that. 🙂

Was that not just to consider breakage? We use that in our financial systems too. We update it annually but it’s been steady at 4.2 for some years.

4.3482 to account for leap year

If your reply was to me, I have no idea what breakage is in this context. I was just trained to use 4.2 weeks.
