How this works. Daily cost = monthly rent x holding-over multiple x 12 / 365, plus any rent already running on the new premises. It leaves out deposit deductions, damages a landlord may claim for losses beyond the holding-over charge, staff and moving costs, so the real figure is usually higher. Your lease and the landlord's handback guidelines decide the actual terms.
