Speaking from experience:People often have deep-seated views of money that are not rational (in the sense that you can explain the facts of an opportunity and reason out the best course of action). 

Rent pro-ration should be handled by the title company, and future rent payment should have been communicated to tenants immediately upon taking ownership.
