I am renting a property from 23rd July, I have paid the deposit and first month rent, now the next rent will be due on 23rd August right?
The first months rent is often paid before the tenancy begins. The tenancy will usually begin when you are given the keys. The tenancy agreement will specify the start date of the tenancy and the day of the month the rent is due.

If you receive the keys at any time on the 23rd July your tenancy starts on that day if all the paperwork also lines up for that same date as well.
So on this basis your next rent payment will be required to be paid before midnight on the 22nd August, so that you have paid for the next month in full and so on.
It will all be laid out within the OR contract and payment details.

Hi,
My frnd will be added on the contract on 14 August, but my rent will due on 23 august itself right?, or because the there is change in contract om 14august becuz my frnf is added do i have to start paying from 14 august the new rent.
I am asking this as it will be loss for me as i have paid the last rent on 23 july and next due should br 23august
I am assuming your tenancy is joint tenancy, meaning one tenancy agreement for the exclusive use of one property. If this is the case, the existing tenancy continues with the additional tenant from the 14 August. Rent will still be due on 23 August as per the tenancy agreement. How much the incoming tenant contributes in rent should be a personal arrangement between the tenants themselves.
The fairest arrangement would be for the incoming tenant to pay a percentage of the monthly rent and a daily calculation of the monthly rent for 14 - 22 August. A personal arrangement can also be made with regards to the deposit.

@Ahan thereâs not âyour rentâ and âyour friends rentâ just a single rent amount in the contract which you both would be liable for.
How you share the cost with your friend is up to you two.
You canât be made to pay rent twice for the same period 13th to 22nd

Your landlord doesnt sound very clued up, but you should ask him to check with Openrent what will happen when he tries to add a tenant. He should then agree that he will only charge the rent for the new tenancy less the amount t for yhe o relapse days youve already paid for.

We know nothing about the LL all weâve heard is @Ahan 's worries which may reflect having not even talked to the LL. @Ahan doesnât say LL has said heâll have to pay twice for 13th to 22nd, does he? LL may be totally clued up ..

Thats all we ever hear. One side of the story. We respond taking it at face value. In this case Ahan insists that his landlord believes he can just add the second tenant to the contract, so my comment was based on that.
Fair enough tho all we have is that LL plans to add his friend to the contract, nothing about what the LL believes or whether it is âjustâ adding. The LL may be totally clued up, understand the OR process for âaddingâ a tenant and not be planning to charge @Ahan twice for the period 13th to 2nd.
@Ahan has LL actually told you or implied to you anything about what you will need to pay under a new tenancy starting from 13th with your friend? Have they indicated or suggested that they wouldnt either count the ÂŁ youâve already paid for 13th to 22nd towards the new monthly amount, or wouldnt refund it if paying the new monthly amount from 13th in full? What has caused you to worry that the LL would be unreasonable about this?

Thats true (20 characters)
Oh we do, we know that the LL hasnât taken the time to explain to his brand new T whatâs going on. That says a whole lot.
Or maybe new tenant hasnt @Ahan had the discussion with LL yet and is seeking advice here as unsure what is ânormalâ.
You could equally say @Ahan has been given the contract and should have read it properly and asked LL these questions before signing! And if they chose not to do so, thatâs their responsibility, and is rather sloppy. Perhaps the LL is totally clued up but wrongly thought @Ahan would be too.
Personally I do agree that talking the tenant through the main terms and conditions of the contract and especially when ÂŁ is expected to be paid, is a sensible idea, and not doing so is rather sloppy.

Yep, exactly. We know that the LL is sloppy. And a âtotally clued upâ LL would never, ever assume an applicant would be too.
