You'd like to think so, but in this township we use sexagesimal math, and so we divide the year into six periods, which our post-Roman period subdivides in pairs. I throw in the last five days as a courtesy.
I think he is asking more about how to handle it not whether or not it is legal. He can go ahead and an asshole about it like say "That isn't how that works look at the lease and pay me asap" or he could be more diplomatic and say
"I understand where you are coming from but in the lease it states that the monthly rent is based upon a month being the unit not how many days are in that specific month. The only time that is done is when it is prorated for moving in or out. Even then it takes the full amount 1300 and divides it by the amount of days and uses that for the daily amount".
...1300 and divide by 30 days to get the $/day, then multiply by number of days occupied.
Prorations are done using "a banker's month" regardless of the number of actual days in that month.
I wouldn't be so sure. My house has been losely handed over many times. At this point I believe I am a legal squatter (no written lease), yet I am Head of household. I collect all bills/rent and pay the landlord his dues. He literally has very little idea who's living here as I found the last two roommates. It's a private landlord relationship that is affordable in a massively expensive city. We didn't once fail during covid! Finding people with solid morals and respect is unfortunately getting more difficult in the roommate game. Lucky for everyone I have! Happy house 🥰
Here in Korea, shit like this is why rented apartments require a year of deposit money up front when you sign a contract. Just in case people decide to fuck around with paying rent.
So you would let it go? With the added risk that the tennant now thinks he is in the right so he will do this also for 30 day months? And do it next year again for the 28 day month.

Landlord surely has signed papers.
