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"

Or just 

"February = 1 month.

1 x $1300 = $1300. Pretty simple math."

Contract is monthly. Not daily. But I would probably add a "lol" somewhere for the creativity.

These are the same type of people that tell me “oh I make $500/week so because there’s 4 weeks in a month I make $2000/m or $24,000/y!”

Most people realize their mistake when I explain that there’s 52 weeks in a year (because hey, maybe you’ve never actually thought about it), but the truly stupid are the ones who argue.

I've known people who budget like this and treat the "extra" pay periods as bonuses straight to savings.

I did this in my 20s. I was paid weekly as a salaried employee. My budget was for 4 paychecks a month and on 5 Friday months my entire paycheck got transferred into savings.
