Prorated rent
Rent for a partial month, worked out by the day.
When a lease starts or ends mid-month, rent for that month is often prorated: the monthly rent divided by the days in the month, times the days you occupy the unit. State statutes on this site do not prescribe one formula, so check your lease for the method it uses.
