Q: HOw do I prorate a month of rent to a subletter renting mondays and wednesdays for 400/month.
I sublet office space and a subletter wants to start mid month, she wants to caclulate the prorated amount based on the days of the month while I think it should be based on the price per monday and wednesday, which would be 50$/day because there are 8 mondays and wednedays in the month and her rent is 400.
A: Unless agreed specifically, you prorate on the days of the month.
A: I need to correct my answer. If the rent is for $400 a month for the use of the office Monday and Wednesday, then you would calculate the number of Mondays and Wednesdays between the start date of the lease and the end of the month divided by the number of Mondays and Wednesdays (not including legal holidays) during the month.
