Short changing my land lord?

I've just realised I might be short changing my land lord! I pay my rent on the 28th of each month. But obviously, some months are longer than others. Should I just stick with this, or just pay my rent on a weekly basis so I'm not finding I'm squatting for a day here or a day there each month.
Thing is, I also get paid at the end of the month. That means some months it's the 31st, or the 28th.
Any thoughts?

You usually pay rent by the calendar month, not the week.0

What (exactly) does your contract/tenancy agreement say about rent?0

You need to pay your rent according to what is agreed in your tenancy agreement. If your tenancy agreement says you must pay your rent monthly on 28th of each month then that's what you must pay. The number of days in the month and the day you get paid on are irrelevant.
As a tenant you can never be a squatter in the property.0 -

Talk to your landlord. I agreed to my tenant paying the rent on 15th of each month as that coincided with her pay day.0
