Shouldn't my rent be cheaper in February?

It’s the shortest month…
I’m renting the house less days…

Beware. You might give your landlord the idea that he deserves to be paid every thirty days, or that he might demand five days extra rent at the end of the year.

Should you pay more rent in January, March, May, July, August, October and December than in February, April, June, September and November?

Seems needlessly convoluted.

Talk to him and see if you can get him to agree to rent to you by the hour…fairest way for all involved.

Usually rent cannot change or increase during the lease, unless both of you agree to make changes.

You are paying by the month, not by day.
However long the month is, it is still a month.
If you wanted to increment by fluctuating value, then you should pay more for February than June, because shelter is more crucial when weather is bad.

You are usually per lease agreement paying monthly installments toward a set amount.

You’re paying by the month, not by the day. Some months are shorter, some longer, but regardless, your monthly rent is the same.

Did you throw in extra for January? Why not?

This was not really a serious question. I just thought it was worth noting. It’s the shortest month. By almost half a week.

I don’t doubt it was a serious question, but I think you’ve gotten the right answers. Over the course of a year, your rent averages out to be about the same every month.
