  1. Prorate Settings

    1.  All Charges and Rent can be prorated at move-in and move-out  
      1. Note: while creating one time charges, you will be able to elect to prorate or not
    2. There are two types of proration:
      1. 30 Days: Determines a daily rate by dividing the amount due by 30 and multiplying it by the daily rate.  Example: $1000 Rent and resident moves in on July 30th and owes 2 days rent.  $1000/30=$33.33 daily rate.  $33.33 X 2 = $66.66.
      2. Actual Month: Determines a daily rate by dividing the amount owed by the actual days in month.   Example: $1000 Rent and resident moves in on July 30th and owes 2 days rent.  $1000/31=$32.23 daily rate.  $32.23 X 2 = $64.46. 

Ensure your prorate settings match the language in your Lease Agreements
