First Month Move-In Proration Rules
When moving into a new rental property on any day other than the 1st of the month, you are entitled to a partial-month calculation. In standard US lease agreements, the move-in day counts as day one of occupancy because you are given keys and legal possession of the premises.
Move-In Checklist & Advice
- Verify the Billing Date: Confirm whether your landlord requires the partial payment on move-in day or applies the discount to month two.
- Inspect Key Handover Time: Even if you move your furniture in at 6:00 PM, moving in on that date counts as a full day under standard lease terms.
- Copy the Calculation: Use the "Copy Email to Landlord" button above to send a polite confirmation to avoid billing discrepancies.
