lorr | Is it normal for a landlord to charge a full month even if you move in in the middle of the month? |
Additional Details
the rent here goes from the 15th to the 15th. I moved from ny into this place on the 1st. they insisted i pay from the 15th to the 15th.i also paid a security deposit. so 2 weeks after moving in here i had to pay another months rent.

No, that's not normal. The landlord should prorate your first month's rent taking the monthly rent divided by the number of days in the month, times how many you will be living there. I've rented many apartments and that's the way every landlord I've ever had has done it.
Are you sure that he's not counting this as a deposit? A deposit is usually equal to first month's rent. If that were the case, though, I would think he would also be asking you for the rent payment as well.
I would call him and ask for an explanation. |

sorry...YES it is...the first month is ALWAYs paid in full...if you moved into your apt in the middle of the month, the second month will then be pro-rated...the formula for that will be:
(rent / 30)*# of days = 2nd month rent.
I have never seen where the first month is pro-rated....that would be exceptional...the landlord doesn't want people moving in with 1/2 months rent then skipping out the next....so pay the full first...take the discount on the 2nd.
good luck |

It is normal to charge full months rent 1st month and prorate the second.
the deposit is equal to the rent and therefore, the LL has an ample down payment to draw from if you skip or become delinquent in your second month. |

no he should prorate you and charge you for half the month. if u didnt live there for the whole month why should u pay for it. unless some places ask for 1 months rent 1 months equal to security. then the next month they will charge u for the prorated fee. Do u get it? the one month u pay would cover the following month and then the next month u would be billed for the prorated month. discuss this with the landlord before u give any money and ur clear on everything. |

I would say it's normal for landlords to try to squeeze you for every dollar possible.
The lease should've been made it clear you wanted to pro-rate your rent for that period. If it didn't, you're probably stuck paying the whole thing. |

Take a good LONG look at your 'contract' (even a 'month to month rental' should have a written contract signed by both you (the tenant) and the landlord. Many landlords actually do charge a full month's rent on the first month, and if they want the rent on the first of the month, they'll 'prorate' the second month's rent. Otherwise, your 'rent day' should be on the same 'number day' you moved in. IF YOUR LANDLORD does NEITHER of these things, then I'd think 'long and hard' about moving in to that apartment/house at all ... because if he's going to be so 'obvious' at ripping you off from the first, he's probably going to 'hide' other rip offs the longer you live with him as your landlord. |

No, it should be prorated from the time you moved in. |

It actually depends on your lease/contract with them. Sometimes there is a clause that states if you move in mid-month that you will pay a full month's rent. Other times it is prorated for the amount of time that you lived there. I would check your lease and see what it says |

I agree it needs to be prorated and if they charged you for a full month. I would ask for the difference back. If they refuse, I would go to the housing authority with it. |
