Norwegian term or phrase: Opphandlingsrenten
Opphandlingsrenten/interimsrenten skal tilsvare en månedlig rente på det beløp utleier har utbetalt, beregnet etter rentesatsen angitt på side 1.

There are no hits for this on the internet at all. Does anyone know what it means? Thanks.

English translation:pre-paid interest/interim interest
Explanation:
The "opphandling" part suggests a transaction-related aspect to me. I started thinking about interest paid at closing on real estate transactions. Looking for "interim interest" led me to this at the link below:

"You can close on a house any day during a month. Let’s say you close on September 15; your initial mortgage payment would be due November 1. That payment includes interest for October. What about the remaining 15 days of September? This interim interest (sometimes called pre-paid interest) is paid at closing. The closer your closing is to the end of the month, the smaller this amount will be."

Is your context a similar circumstance, for either residential or commercial property that is passing from the lessor to the lessee in a sale?

The opphandlingsrente and interimrente are two words for the same thing BTW. cf Swedish upphandlingsränta
