Tenant moving in on 15th. Lease will start the 1st

Hello all,
I have tenants that I want to move in on 7/15, but I want their monthly rent payments and lease to start 8/1. Has anyone gone through this? I'm not sure how to phrase the extra 2 weeks of rent. Do I include a line in the lease? Do I make a separate document?
I'm finding it difficult to find information about a situation like this on the Internet.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks!

Just prorate the extra two weeks for July and have rent due the first of every month. Surely you want a lease in place from the time they move in?

Just say that rent is due on the 1st, except that if the lease commences on a day other than the first, rent for that partial month is due on the date of commencement and will be prorated on an X/30 basis (X being the number of days of occupancy).

DS is moving into his 4th apartment next week & ALL have prorated the partial moving month & then required the remaining months to be due on the 1st. Collect the partial month plus any security deposit at move in.

I would get in writing and signed by them some sort of lease addendum stating their lease is starting 7/15, if the original lease they signed says 8/1. Then just prorate your rent for 2 weeks and charge it to them upon move in. Pretty simple!

Thanks, all. I did an addendum which gave me 1 full month from 7/15-8/14 and then prorated rent of 1/2 month will be due 8/15. Further payments will be due on the 1st of every month.
I got their 1.5 month security deposit at signing as well.

If someone moves in during the middle of the month, the full month rent is due upon move in-nobody moves in without paying the full deposit and a full month's rent-and then the partial month's rent is due on the 1st. As a landlord you take all the risk in the signing of a lease so you need to compensated in case you never see another payment and have to incur court costs. Taking a partial month's end upon move in gives me the willies.

Here is what I do. I start with great tenants.
When they move in, I get 1/2 months rent, plus the full deposit. Less the holding fee. On the first, I get a full-months rent.
Good tenants will pay when rent is due.
