    Is Rent Prorated if Your Move-Out Date is Prior to the Last Day of the Month
    My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Vermont

    My lease starts 6/1 and ends on 5/26 of the following year. Is my landlord required to prorate the last month of the lease, as the lease period does not cover the full month?

    Re: Prorated Rent
    what does your lease say?

    Contrary to popular belief, when you sign a 1 year lease, the entire amount of rent becomes owed. You do not incur a debt each month equal to 1/12 of the total. Monthly payments are included for the convenience of the tenant. If your lease says the entire amount due for the term written is $XXXXXX and the monthly payments listed add up to that, then there is no basis for the rent to be pro rated for May of 2015.
