Method for Prorating Rents
If you are moving into an apartment in the middle of the month, you should be paying pro-rated rent, or rent proportionate to the fraction of the month that you will be living in the apartment. You can use a formula to determine how much pro-rated rent you should be paying, independently of your reasons for moving in mid-month or the total amount of the rent.
