How prorated rent works

Delivery-month proration is not charged day by day. We use simple start-date tiers for the delivery month. That prorated amount is due on the 1st of the following month, and regular monthly rent starts the month after that.

What You Might Pay When You Start

Your exact first payment depends on delivery timing, but these examples explain the usual pattern.

Example: starts near the 1st

$80 setup + proration timing

If your rental starts on days 1-5, the delivery-month proration is $30 and is due on the 1st of the next month; days 6-14 are $20.

Example: starts mid-month

$80 setup + proration timing

If delivery happens on days 15-20, the delivery-month proration is $10. Days 21-25 are $5, and day 26 or later is waived.

Example: ongoing monthly rental

$40/month

Regular rent starts the month after the prorated amount is due, then continues on the 1st of each month. A grace period runs through the 5th.

Final delivery/start-date billing is confirmed before activation.
