What does payable in advance mean?
<p>I was just reading this sublease agreenment and find it very strange that it doesn't have a section clearling indicating when the payment is due.</p>

<p>The closest it has is </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>RENT PAYMENTS:  The rent is $ ________ per month, payable in advance
  on the ____________ day of the month.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>If payable in advance means it can be paid before then, then is it implied it MUST be paid before then?</p>

<p>Also what's the difference between sublet and sublease? </p>

<p>Payable in advance means that you are paying for services prior to receiving them. Compare with <em>payable in arrears</em>, where you pay for something after receiving the service.</p>

<p>In your situation, payable in advance means that the payment you make is for the period to come, rather than for the period just elapsed.</p>

<p>Payable in advance means payable before the month commences. So, for March your rent is due on or before the last day in February.</p>
