Always divide the monthly rent by 30, no matter how many days are in a given month. The landlord is entitled to recover the fair daily rental value times the number of days, which is not the same thing as a proportionate share of that specific month's rent.

Unless the lease provides otherwise, the usual California real-estate practice is to base everything on a 30-day month except interest, which would be prorated on actual number of days.
