First-month billing
How prorated rent works
First-month rent is not charged day by day. We use three simple start-date tiers so the startup cost is easier to understand.
Example start-date calendar
Date blocks show what the first partial rent would be.
50% of the regular $40 monthly rent.
25% of the regular $40 monthly rent.
The first partial rent is waived.
This covers setup, delivery, and installation. It is separate from monthly rent.
If the rental starts before the 21st, the partial rent is billed on the 1st of the next month.
After the startup period, regular monthly rent is due on the 1st.
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
If your rental starts on days 1-14, the first partial rent is $20 and is due on the 1st of the next month.
Example: starts mid-month
If delivery happens on days 15-20, the first partial rent is $10. If delivery happens on day 21 or later, that first partial rent is waived.
Example: ongoing monthly rental
After activation, regular rent is due on the 1st of each month. A grace period runs through the 5th.
Final delivery/start-date billing is confirmed before activation.
