My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: CT

Hi.

Lease from April 1, 2016 > March 31, 2017 @ $1029/mo

New 1 yr lease signed @ $1044/mo, but for some reason, the mgmt. co. wants to start the lease from the 3/28, as opposed to 4/1

Showed up @ mgmt. office on 3/1/2017 with $1029
Showed up @ mgmt. office on 3/28/2017 with $1044

Now, the mgmt. co. is telling me that I owe them money. How much? A laughable $2 - but it's not the $ amt; it's the principle.

It was explained to me that a prorate was done, and blah blah, I don't even understand it, but I owe them $2. The way I see it, they owe me money.

If you prorate $1029 over 31 days, that's 33.19/day. Which means, that had I showed up @ mgmt. office on 3/1/2017 with $896, that would have covered me to the 27th, whereas the $1044 would be due on the 28th. But I didn't pay $896 - I paid $1029. Which seems to me that they owe me $133

Am I doing this wrong, and are they in the right? Or....

Thanks in advance.
