To calculate rent proration, you need to determine the daily rent cost and then multiply it by the number of days the property will be occupied in the partial month. First, divide the monthly rent by the number of days in the month to get the daily rate. Then, multiply this rate by the days of occupancy. For example, if the monthly rent is $1200 and June is the move-in month, the daily rent rate is $1200/30 = $40. For a move-in date of June 15th, the prorated rent would be $40 x 16 = $640.
