Mid Month Lease Structuring

Ask Your Question For Free

Summary

To structure a lease for a mid-month move-in in New York, calculate prorated rent by dividing the monthly rent by the number of days in the month and multiplying by the number of days the tenant will occupy the unit. Clearly state the lease start date and the due date for the prorated rent. Ensure the security deposit is based on the full month’s rent, not the prorated amount. Specify that the lease will run for 12 months starting from the first full month. Outline responsibilities for utilities and maintenance from the move-in date. You can demand fees other than rent as part of the lease agreement but cannot evict a tenant for non-payment of these fees. Consider methods like demand letters, small claims court, and mediation to enforce or collect these fees.

add a clause that first prorated period is under all rules listed in lease
Certainly! Here’s a clause you can add to your lease to specify that the first prorated period is under all the rules listed in the lease:
"**Prorated Rent Period**: The tenant agrees that during the initial prorated rent period, all terms and conditions of this lease shall apply in full, including but not limited to payment of rent, utilities, and maintenance responsibilities."
Does this meet your needs, or would you like any adjustments?

In New York, while you cannot evict a tenant for non-payment of fees other than rent, you can still demand those fees as part of the lease agreement.
