PropAlly puzzles/ Puzzle #4
Rent is $600 a week. February’s statement shows $2,400, but $600 × 52 ÷ 12 is $2,600. Is the agent short-paying?
Fictional example
The answer
February 2026 is exactly four weeks long, so weekly rent falls on it four times: 4 × $600 = $2,400. The $2,600 is only an average.
Most months contain four rent days and some contain five. Weekly rent never lands evenly on calendar months.
Over a full year the months even out to 52 weeks of rent. That’s the total to compare.
Count the rent days in the month. If the rent received doesn’t match that count, ask the agent.
PropAlly tracks rent across the whole year for each property, so you can see a real shortfall instead of a short month.
