The rental amount for any partial calendar month shall be prorated on a daily basis using a thirty (30) day month. Rent is due in advance on or before the first day of each calendar month by mail at Landlord’s Mailing Address or in person at Landlord’s Street Address. Landlord reserves the right to from time to time to change the rental rate charged. Tenant must give Landlord at least ten (10) days advanced written notice of termination of this Lease. Tenant is responsible for all rent and other charges as long as Tenant’s property is in the Unit and Tenant possesses keys to the lock.

If rent is not received by the first day of the month, late fees and penalties will be added to the rent as set forth described in the Lease Summary.
