Q: If I just moved into a property on the 22nd of September and paid a down payment on an apartment and was charged a pro
A pro rated rent? Could they turn around and charge me an additional rent fee for the first of the month of October?
A: In Georgia, if you paid a prorated rent for the days you occupied the apartment in September, typically you'd then owe a full month's rent for October starting on the 1st, unless your lease agreement states otherwise. Always review the terms of your lease agreement to understand the rental payment structure. Any discrepancies between your payments and the lease terms should be discussed with your landlord. For personalized legal advice tailored to your unique circumstances, it's advisable to consult with an attorney.
