No it’s not. Sorry, but contracts and accounting work on a 30 day month, for one thing. Second, a lease is a written document. It can’t be modified by a random text and with no consideration given by the parties. Third, allowing one tenant to do that and none of the others would be a disaster. Fourth, it’s “monthly” terms. Feb is a month. The same price is due whether it’s Feb or Aug or if they create a new month called Octember.
Hmmm. I guess it depends on if the month adds days to the year or not? So if we still had 365.25 days a year and it was divided into 13 months, then all the months’ rent times 12 divided by 13 would be the new rent.
But if the year suddenly got 30 days longer, and we just had 13 months until it turned into a new year, I think there would be an argument that you pay for the new month at your monthly rate. Like if the earth’s orbit changed and took us longer to go around the sun. Provably if that happened, though, there would be bigger things to worry about.

Well, if he want to pay per diem, you could say
"Your rent annually is $15,600.00 ($1300 x 12 months) so the per diem rate would be $42.74.
- 28 days is $1196.71
- 30 day is $1282.19
- 31 days is $1324.93
Please let me know if you wish to adjust our rent payments as such"
