Erica S asked:
I am trying to figure out our prorated rent because I think it should be based on the rent divided by how many days there are in a month and my landlord says it should be just 30 days. Anyone out there have any info with regards to prorated rent formulas or laws or guidelines in California? Thanks!

Rent is usually prorated when you move in, but not when you move out.
If you have a written lease, if you read it, the landlord can legally NOT entertain proration of rent.
However, if you do not have a written lease, it is prorated.
There is no law that states in a written lease that a landlord must prorate it…that is why you can’t find it.

Your landlord is correct.
There are only 360 days in a banking or tax year. It’s not the same as a calendar year of 365 days.
This allows for 12 equal months/payments of 30 days each.
Do you pay less rent in a 28 or 29 day month than you do in a 30 day month? Or more rent in a 31 day month than you do in a 30 day month?
Of course not.

Your landlord is correct. All months have 30 days for legal purposes.
