Asking about explaining the term "prorated"

I'm going to email the leasing company to ask about the term "prorated" they mentioned in their contract lease. Can you correct this short paragraph for me ?

I asked a native speaker what "prorated" means, but she didn't know. I made sure that's not a common term and not my language mistake. Therefore, I wonder if you can clarify the term for me?
