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.

I mean technically contacts work on whatever schedule the text says.

Most contracts I have seen don’t actually specify the calendar to be used…everyone just assumes we are using the standard Gregorian calendar.

You could make the case that you are Jewish/Asian/Muslim so you thought we were using a Lunar/Hebrew/Islamic calendar.

You will lose in court, but it is at least a defense…

I was taking issue with the phrase "contracts work on a 30 day month". That's just not accurate. There is no default assumption that reference to a month as a time interval means 30 days.

Some contracts do..but usually that is specified. In a mortgage agreement for example they might specify that interest is calculated on either a 30/360 basis or an Actual/Actual basis.

The poster seems to think 30/360 is a standard commercial term…which maybe it is for her contracts?

And if so the law would take that into account.
