30 Days - all months are considered 30 days for calculating the daily rental rate and days of occupancy is calculated based on actual days in month.
For example, household moved in on February 16th, the calculation is $600 / 30 days = $20 x 13 = $260.
Days unit is occupied is calculated as 28 days less 15 = 13
Actual Days in month
Do Not Prorate
Unit Vacant first of month - Move-in will only prorate subsidy if the unit was vacant on the 1st of the month. Move-out will never prorate subsidy.
30 Day Basis/30 Day Month - all months are considered 30 days for calculating the daily rental rate and the days of occupancy is calculated based on 30 days, including February
For example, household moved in on February 16th, the calculation is $600 / 30 days = $20 x 15 = $300.
Days unit is occupied is calculated as 30 less 15 = 15, instead of 28 less 15 = 13
30 Day Basis/30 Day Month (No Per Diem Rounding) - this method will calculate an old per diem and a new per diem and blend the amounts without the interim rounding, which will provide the results you would expect with a manual calculation when amounts are not rounded to whole dollars.
This method is intended when the subsidy from the voucher is not rounded to whole dollars but calculated to the penny.
Any day other than the first 1/2 the change - when a voucher change occurs on any day but the 1st of the month, Property Manager will charge half the difference (New less Old/2)
