Moving to an apartment before your lease starts.?

Question

Say for example your lease ends July 31 a noon but your lease to a new apartment starts August 1st. We the have an opening of half a day.

The new apartment notified of early move-in date but has a charge per day. Is this required by any property managements. We had made moves before that did not require any charge at early dates.

Answer 1

They can charge you the daily prorated rent.

If the previous tenants have already paid for the entire month, they are due the proprated refund of their rent from the landlord. You are not entitled to the extra day(s) free or for the previous tenants to pay for the days that you will have possession of the apartment.

Essentially, the landlord will collect the prorated daily rent from you and in turn refund the prorated daily rent to the old tenants.

Answer 2

What’s your question? The next place has every right to charge you for the time you’re there, even if it is just one day.

Only the management can tell you, and they seem to have answered that already.
