FAQ
What is a fortnightly rent rate?
A fortnightly rent rate refers to the amount of rent paid every two weeks, as opposed to monthly or weekly. It is calculated by dividing the monthly rent rate by 2.
Why might someone choose to pay rent fortnightly?
Paying rent fortnightly can help tenants align their rent payments more closely with their pay cycle, especially if they are paid every two weeks. This can make budgeting easier and help ensure rent is paid on time.
Are there any financial benefits to paying rent fortnightly?
Yes, in some cases, paying rent fortnightly can help tenants save money over time. Since there are slightly more than 4 weeks in a month, paying every two weeks can result in making an extra month’s worth of rent payments over the course of a year, which can help reduce the principal balance faster if the rent is contributing towards ownership, such as in a rent-to-own scenario.
