Our landlord offset a rent increase by a week into the monthly cycle, stating this lets them charge that month as 31 individual days
They're refusing to start the rent increase a week earlier to lower the amount, stating their hands are tied by rental laws.
This is a managed rental too, 50-100 person agency with multiple offices.
Edit:
Their daily amounts are derived from Consumer Affairs Victoria for ($2911p/m increasing to $3020p/m), and are correct. However, rental agreements are based on months, and each month averages 30.4 days; this month has 31 days - so switching to a daily-rate has a higher total.
