By law your rent was even supposed to start counting by October 1st.

JayPeeOham:



Op, in a year do we have January to December or January to January?

It is not about when you paid, but when your rent expired!

Your rent could have expired on August 30 and even if you later paid in October, it would start reading by August 30. Which means September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2024

However, if your rent expired the exact day you paid then it should be September 17, 2023 - September 16, 2024

As for birthdays, do you start counting your years from the day you were born or from the next year? That is if you were born in 2000 for instance, you'd start counting 1year old from 2001 and not 2000!

if he just moved into the house September 17th and paid the rent that day, do u expect him to renew the rent august 17th of the next year? If yes now count again and u will see that is 11 months and not 12. But if he was staying there before and his rent already expired before he paid, then that is a different issue entirely. But if he moved there September 17th 2023, then September 16th 2024 should make it a year. September 17th starts a new circle

Good day NL

Please don't air me. I paid my last rent in September, September 17th to be precise. When is my rent suppose to expire, is it not September the following year?

How come they are counting August?

If you do your birthday March 5, are you celebrating your next year birthday by February 5?
OR
When a new child is born on Monday and named Monday the following week, why didn't the naming be held on Sunday..

We calculate everything right but when it comes to rent, we draw the line?

Please come to my rescue and explain because I don't understand again.

When is my rent suppose to expire I need clarification. Thank you.

if you pay in September, your rent expires in August. You start counting from the September to August. That's 12 months.

You rent expires a day to anniversary.
Example if you paid annual rent September 1, it expires August 31.
If you paid September 15, it expires September 14

Did you read the agreement and check your receipt after payment?

There is always a clause in the agreement that any date in a month represent a full calendar month. However, most landlord/caretaker usually use any date before 15th day of the month to represent a full calendar month or you wait till the end of the month and rent the house (provided other serious person won't have taken it). Also, you can negotiate with the landlord/caretaker to use the following month to calculate your rent at the point of making payment and confirm same from your receipt. This will prevent you this calculation which you can't win except through negotiation.

Don't let "no gree for anybody" put you out looking for saara/wicked agreement and commission for a new apartment ooo. That one month disparity fit put you at loggerhead with your land and can earn you quit notice. Many human beign don't like being challenged on top their property.

#My 2 cents

FOOTSOLDIER2:
I will never be poor in my life, if you are rich, I'm sure you won't be counting all these

Actually, it's because you are poor you think this way. The rich don't tolerate fleecing.

What was in the agreement?
This doesn't sound like your very first payment. Is it?


if your rent was due in August and you paid September 17th, the fact that you paid late doesn't change the date your rent is due.

Also for some agents if you rent an apartment before 15th they count that whole month for you. Some landlords start counting from the next month for a fresh start irrespective of when you paid your rent. So it depends.

But if it started counting that Sept 17th then your rent is due Sept 16th the next year.

Geovanni412:


Don't you have tenancy agreement?

It is September to August, that's how we calculate it on all the properties we manage.

Do well to pay your landlord on time

LOL. Very funny.

That tenancy agreement, I've never seen it before.

Procashtips:


If you paid 18th of September, 18th of October makes it 1 month.

Now keep counting.

Yes, but you start counting from September!

IamNat:
Just calculate 12 months, which should be 17th of September the following year.

Your rent should be expiring by16th of September

Sirebrightlight:
September October November December January February March April may June July August..... Count and tell me how many months are listed here 🤐🤐🤐🤔👀👀

so he will pay his rent September and not august. If u pay ur rent 1st of September, do u renew ur rent 1st of August or 1st of September the next year? Since August is supposed to be ur last month there so ur rent expires on the 31st. But in his case he paid on the 17th of September, so his rent will expire on the 16th of September the next year

SouthSouth1914:


Yes, but you start counting from September!

How many days makes a month?

Even if he paid on the 1st of September, a month would be on the 1st of October.

Take it from someone who managed tenants and properties for some years.

So if you start counting by September 2023, a year's rent would be September 2024.

This is simple Na.

SouthSouth1914:
September to September is 13 months. August is correct!

This would only apply if he had made the payment of 1 September but in this instance the payment was made on September 17

MidasTouch15:

It can never be august. It definitely will be sept. Let's assume it sept 30, it expires sept 29 the following year. September 1 expires august 31... In that way it tallies 365 days. Anything other than this as i said earlier is pure evil

Go and talk to any lawyer

Una too funny for here.

The way we calculate it is you count the month you entered as month 1.

September 14- month 1
October 14- month 2.

Obierika:


This would only apply if he had made the payment of 1 September but in this instance the payment was made on September 17

Even if it was 1st of September, rent would still be due on the first of September next year.

MidasTouch15:

It's september to september. Whoever tell u otherwise is evil

That's 13 months not 12 month

What will the next year after that be?

August or July?

Now you see where the issue is.

Here is a simple calculation to help you solve the puzzle.

September 17 to October 17 = 1 Month
October 17 to November 17 = 2 Months
November 17 to December 17 =3 Months
December 17 to January 17 = 4 Months
January 17 to February 17 = 5 Months
February 17 to March 17 = 6 Months
March 17 to April 17 = 7 Months
April 17 to May 17 = 8 Months
May 17 to June 17 = 9 Months
June 17 to July 17 = 10 Months
July 17 to August 17 = 11 Months
August 17 to September 17 = 12 Calendar Months

Procashtips:


Even if it was 1st of September, rent would still be due on the first of September next year.

Wrong it will be due in August of the following year

Rubyjade:

And the year after that?

August or July?

when did you pay your very first rent for the premises? or was your last rent the first?

Gokslab:


Lets break the rent down to monthly basis..
Sept 17 - Oct 16 = 1 month
Oct - Nov = 2 months
Nov - Dec = 3 months
Dec - Jan = 4 months
Jan - Feb = 5 months
Feb - Mar = 6 months
Mar - Apr = 7 months
Apr - May = 8 months
May - Jun = 9 months
Jun - Jul = 10 months
Jul - Aug = 11 months
Aug - Sep = 12 months

So, why should the rent expire by Aug 16 ??

Chief, ask any lawyer, it is not counted like that

Month 1 is September 14
Month 2 is October 14

This is the actual order. Go and check any tenancy agreement written by any lawyer or visit a local magistrate court and ask them this question

Oga! August the following year is when the rent would expire.

Obierika:

Yes, it still counts from September Bro. If he had taken a loan from a company, when do you think it would start counting?

Your Rent is Due in August if you pay in September.

Count it.

September 1
October. 2
November 3
December. 4
January 5
February 6
March. 7
April 8
May 9
June 10
July 11
August. 12

So, you renew at the end of August.

altteemy:


And the year after that?

August or July?

You count from September

Greedy,illogical foo ls.
Going by those who say the rent will expire August not September,it means if he pays August this year,the rent next year is due July,upper year June,May,April,etc.
Means that if he stays up to 10years in that house,there would come a month when he would even be in arrears of rent even before he pays the next due one!
Dindirins!

This is simple Na.

I wonder o, they are leaving out the 16 days in September that the guy had not occupied the apartment, that's why he needs to spend those 16 days in the following year's September to complete 1 year, hence his rent is due 16th September.

Another angle to it is that let us agree he pays by August (with their erroneous counting) then it implies he will pay the third payment by July if they count erroneously again
