comment How to say: (one) month through (another) month
I'd say ~ヶ月の間 encompasses that sort of feeling more, but my intention in this answer wasn't to use the most precise language possible since the guy seems to be at a pretty low level. Technically the phrase refers to the span of time, yes, but I'm not sure I think it's incorrect to say that it's a phrase that expresses start and ending. Either way I'll edit it a little.

Yes yes 二重敬語 is a new word for me. I knew it looked wrong but I couldn't say what it was. The conclusion I arrived at in my deleted answer was that it should be お納めになる but I missed that second definition.

If that's the case then my answer is wrong after all.. but is it ok to use なられる like that? Why isn't it お納めになるように if they are telling him to accept the money?

Ok the more I go over this the more I'm convinced that there's just something wrong with it. Either it's a mistake or we're missing context or I'm making a mistake somewhere.

I'm not really sure since it ends with that ようにと... like technically she's saying that the landlord should pay the rent, I guess? @DarkAkira does the landlord paying the rent make sense in the context of this story? If that's the case then the なられる is honorific.

I might be misreading this but I don't see it as honorific. Looks like she's telling お兄さん to tell the landlord/manager/whatever that the rent will be paid
