The monthly rent amount is written in the Basic Terms and repeated in the rent article. There is also a payment schedule table that shows:

• which rental period each payment covers, and

• the exact due date for each month (for example, rent for January due on January 1).

Rent is paid directly to the landlord, using the bank account listed in the contract. If the rent is not paid on time, the landlord can:

• charge statutory default interest for every day of delay, and

• if you are more than 15 days late, terminate the agreement and keep the deposit.

In some cases, landlord and tenant may agree on a different payment arrangement only for the first and last month, but this must be mutual and in line with the contract.
