It's not uncommon in NZ/Aus to be paid weekly and pay rent weekly. I find monthly rent to be just as strange!

Somebody needs to teach NZ/Aus the concept of the float.

I worked somewhere they moved payday by 1d explicitly for financial reasons ...

Let's split the difference and go bi-weekly. Or bi-monthly. Or some other arbitrary period we can define "ambiguously".
You don't need to argue it out with HN, if you want to negotiate landlords generally are happy to at least consider it. I've paid rent as an annual lump sum before.
Olympic swimming pools of rent.
That sounds like a lot. Like, Uncle Scrooge amounts.
