Hi,

I've been renting a flat for a few years and I'm moving out soon and I wanted to get some advice regarding what I owe at the end of the rental period.

I moved in on August 11th 2008 and one month's rent was taken out of my account on August 16th. I've been paying on the 16th of each month by standing order ever since.

I've just given notice that I'm leaving and my leaving date is the 23rd June.

Do I still pay a month's rent as normal on the 16th June and then add on the extra 7 days taking me to my move out date? Or, does the rent I've already paid on May 16th take me up to the 16th June, so all I have left to pay is the extra 7 days I'll be in the flat?

Any advice appreciated, thanks.

    Discuss it with your landlord.

    They should adjust it accordingly pro rata.

    The rent you paid on 16th Aug covers from 11th Aug - 10th Sep.
    So the rent you paid 16th May covers from 11th May - 10th Jun.

    Therefore you'll owe 11th Jun - 23rd Jun (inclusive) as a final payment on 16th Jun. So 13 days.

    But check with your landlord. I'd expect them to let you know.

    Ok, that makes sense, thanks. I was getting worried that I'd need to pay a full month's rent again in June. I'll double check with the landlord just to make sure though.
