Is this leasing agreement normal for the U-district?

I’m about to start a job at UW Montlake and was looking for a place in the U-district for an easy commute. I think i found a place, however it spans Sept 4 – Aug 25, 2026, with neither first nor last month’s rent prorated. Also i’m not allowed to move in until 3pm on the 4th, and must be out of the unit by 11am on the final day. He says this is pretty normal for the area. I get that the lease agreements often match up with the academic year for UW, but not that i should be paying for almost 11 days of not living there. Please advise 🙏🏼
