1. How is prorated rent calculated?

We calculate prorated rent using the following formula:

📌 Prorated Rent = (Days Living in the Home) × (Total Monthly Rent ÷ 30)

This means we take your total monthly rent, divide it by 30 (to get a daily rate), and then multiply that by the number of days you’ll be living in the unit for that month.

2. Why do you divide by 30 instead of the actual number of days in the month?

We use a standardized 30-day month to ensure consistency and fairness across all leases, regardless of whether a month has 28, 30, or 31 days. This simplifies calculations and prevents rent amounts from fluctuating unpredictably based on the length of a particular month.

3. What if the month has 31 days? Won’t I be overcharged?

No, because your full rent amount remains the same for a standard month. The formula simply spreads your rent evenly across a 30-day period, ensuring a fair daily rate. Some months will have 31 days, but others (like February) will have fewer, balancing out over time.

4. What if I move in or out in the middle of the month?

If you move in on a date other than the 1st or last day of the month, we apply the prorated rent formula to charge you only for the days you’ll be living in the unit.

For example:

• Move-in date: June 10

• Monthly Rent: $1,500

• Days living in the unit: 21 (June 10–June 30)

• Daily rate: $1,500 ÷ 30 = $50 per day

• Prorated rent due: 21 × $50 = $1,050

5. Is this method standard in the rental industry?

Yes! Many rental companies and landlords use a 30-day standard to calculate prorated rent. This approach simplifies billing, avoids confusion, and ensures a predictable and equitable method for all residents.

6. What if I move out in the middle of the month – do I need to pay the rest of the month?

This depends on your written lease agreement. Some of our leases (especially in popular student living areas) may expire a few days before the end of the month to allow a maintenance time period where we can restore the space so it’s ready for the next tenant to move into on the 1st of the month. You can find this information in your written lease agreement under the section “Lease Term.”

7. Where can I find my prorated rent amount?

If you need your exact prorated rent amount, you can refer to your lease agreement or contact our office, and we’d be happy to calculate it for you.

Why do I need renters insurance?

Renters insurance is required to ensure that you have liability coverage of at least $100,000 throughout your tenancy. This protects both you and the property owner from potential liability claims.

What happens if I don’t secure renters insurance?

If you fail to secure renters insurance, we will activate a landlord liability insurance policy on your account. This will result in a monthly fee for this insurance and an additional administrative fee.

How can I avoid the additional fees?

You can avoid these fees by obtaining your own renters insurance policy. You can purchase it from any provider in the marketplace or through Appfolio within your Online Portal >>

What’s the difference between renters insurance and landlord liability insurance?

Renters insurance covers your personal belongings and provides liability coverage. Landlord liability insurance only covers liability and does not protect your personal belongings.

Why should I get my own renters insurance?

By securing your own renters insurance, your personal belongings will be protected against loss due to events such as floods or other disasters. Landlord liability insurance does not offer this protection.

How do I provide proof of my renters insurance?

You need to upload a certificate of insurance to your Online Portal . If you prefer to send it to our staff for uploading, a $4.50 administrative fee will be assessed. To avoid this fee, upload the certificate yourself.

What should be included in the renters insurance policy?

Your renters insurance policy must name the owner of the rental as the insured, not Full Circle Property Management. Use the following address:

{Owner’s Name}
Care of Full Circle Property Management
P.O. Box 4057
Burlington, Vermont 05406

Where can I find the Owner Name for my rental?

You can find the Owner Name of your rental by reviewing your written lease agreement, which is a shared document in your Online Portal .

Is this requirement only for the beginning of my tenancy?

No, maintaining renters insurance is required throughout your entire tenancy. If there is a lapse in coverage or if you forget to upload a renewal policy, administrative fees and landlord liability insurance fees will be automatically added to your monthly statement.

Can these fees be refunded if I later provide proof of insurance?

No, these fees cannot be refunded. However, once you provide proof of renters insurance, the additional fees will be automatically eliminated moving forward in the next month.

Where can I purchase renters insurance?

You can purchase renters insurance from any provider in the insurance marketplace or through Appfolio’s renters insurance with your Online Portal .

Who can I contact if I have questions about insurance products?

Full Circle Property Management does not answer questions about specific insurance products. For more information, please visit the Appfolio insurance website or the websites of any insurance carriers you are considering.

Why is renters insurance beneficial for renters?

Renters insurance is beneficial for renters because it provides protection for personal belongings against loss or damage due to various events such as theft, fire, or natural disasters. It also provides liability coverage, which can help cover legal costs if someone is injured in your rental unit or if you accidentally damage someone else’s property.

How does liability or renters insurance benefit both renters and landlords?

• For Renters: Liability insurance ensures that you are financially protected in case you are held responsible for accidental injuries or damages. This can prevent significant out-of-pocket expenses and provide peace of mind.
• For Landlords: Requiring liability insurance helps protect the property and reduces the risk of disputes and financial loss due to tenant-caused damages. It ensures that tenants are responsible for their actions, promoting a safer and more secure living environment.

What additional information might be helpful?

• Coverage Details: Ensure that your renters insurance policy covers personal belongings, liability, and any additional living expenses if you are temporarily displaced due to a covered event.
• Policy Limits: Review and understand the policy limits and deductibles to ensure you have adequate coverage for your needs.
• Discounts: Inquire about any available discounts, such as bundling renters insurance with other insurance policies (e.g., auto insurance).

We appreciate your cooperation in meeting this requirement and ensuring a safe and secure living environment for everyone.

Some municipalities have recently increased fees and mandates related to rental housing, and we empathize with both property owners and residents who bear the costs. Rather than raising rents, we’ve opted for transparency by clearly listing the city-mandated fee upfront. This ensures residents have a complete picture of rental costs before signing leases. Our commitment to transparency underscores our dedication to fair communication for all parties involved. Additionally, we applaud and fully support the use of this fee by municipalities to fund housing inspections and enforcement of minimum housing standards, which are essential for ensuring safe and quality housing for all
