Asked by
According to the tenancy agreement, my tenant pays rent on 15th of the month. In this case, it would be 15 May to 14 Jun 2024.
However, he is terminating the tenancy early (under the diplomatic clause) and is moving out on 28 May 2024. He is suggesting paying a prorated rent of 14 days (15 May to 28 May).
There is no clause for such rental calculation in the tenancy agreement.
Can I expect the tenant to pay a full month rent? If not, how to calculate the prorated rent? Either way, what is the industrial practice? Where can the reference be found?
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi,

The common practice is:
Pro-rated rental = Rental rate /30 * No of days

Testimonial from Satisfied Clients
-- My husband and I wish to commend the sincere attitude and good customer service rendered by
your staff Jenny, who handled the sale of our 5R HDB flat early this year. We have met several
agents but none as genuine as Jenny. Being a seller agent, she took our interest at heart in handling
the sale, unlike other agents who are self-interest. Jenny is punctual and prompt in the whole
dealings and we were convinced that such an agent is hard for find nowadays. Jenny is a
trustworthy, honest, sincere and hardworking agent. We are happy with her service and would
gladly recommend her to our friends in future. Jenny is an asset to Propnex and the organisation
should value her. Thank you Jenny for her efforts--
Mr and Mrs Soo (HDB seller)

--Jenny is very committed and responsive to her clients and she has spent hours updating them and
looking out for great deals and even tailor-made property proposal geared towards their needs. Will
certainly refer her to others and will definitely approach her again in her future--
Nick and Kim (New launch buyer)

--Jenny did a great job helping my wife and I sell our unit. She took active steps to walk our
neighbourhood to understand what she was marketing. During the marketing period, she managed
potential buyers and provided timely updates and recommendations so we could stay on top of the
process. Overall, Jenny was professional and helped us to achieve a positive result which we are very
thankful for--
Aaron ( HDB seller)

Hi,

I would be most glad to assist you further and pls feel free to let me know if you need any assistance. Have a good day ahead. By the way, it should be a pro rated rental basis in this case as the tenant did not stay for a full month.

Calculate Prorated Rent: If there's no specific guidance in the agreement, you can calculate the prorated rent based on the number of days the tenant will occupy the property. In this case, the tenant is moving out on the 28th of May, which means they will occupy the property for 14 days (from 15th to 28th May). You can calculate the prorated rent by dividing the monthly rent by the number of days in the month and then multiplying it by the number of days the tenant will stay.Example Calculation:
Monthly Rent: $X
Number of Days in May: 31
Prorated Rent = (X / 31) * 14
Document Agreement: Once you and the tenant agree on the prorated rent amount, document it in writing, and both parties should sign the agreement. This helps avoid misunderstandings and disputes in the future.
Consider Industry Practice: While there may not be a specific reference for prorated rent calculation in your industry, it's common practice to negotiate and agree on a fair amount based on the duration of occupancy.
