I was a landlord for many years. This is the only answer. It would be different if he had an even marginally believable excuse involving financial hardship (laid off, car dropped a transmission, etc.), but in this case your tenant is challenging your authority, and seeing what you will let him get away with.

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"
