Moving rent date to 1st of month

lustig2014

I'm renting a flat through an agency from 16th February onwards.

Will the rent date be the 16th of each month? I get paid on the last working day of the month but I'm not sure how flexible the agency is going to be in regards to moving the rent due date to the first of each month

Did you ask them, what rent are you paying in advance? Maybe offer to pay a month and a half in advance so that brings you up to the 1st April?

Haven't asked them yet as just transferred the deposit this morning.

They will move it, I'm sure, but you'll have to pay the half-month's rent to make it up obviously.

If you get paid at the end of the month anyway, what's the difference? Even if you're living paycheck-to-paycheck (which would be something you'd want to try to fix anyway, if possible), having rent due in the middle of the month actually gives you some extra time in case there are any delays with your paycheck.

The other option is to pay early. Pay the deposit and month in advance on the 16th, then pay again on the 1st of the month. When you are leaving you will have 2 weeks credit.

If you get it shifted, I guarantee that you will change jobs in a few months time to someplace that pays on the 25th or so.

What's the problem with leaving it in your bank account for two weeks until it's due to be paid?
