Renter wants 9 month instead or 1yr lease
Greetings,
I ran credit score, background check, and contacted references then contacted a prospect that looked good and asked if they were ready to sign lease along with security deposit and to my surprise they asked if it was OK to do a 9 month lease instead of a year lease.
Since we have other equally good candidates and desire to have a multi-year tenant this doesn't sit well with me. Has anyone else had a similar experience and can you share what you decided to do?
They are moving in from out of town and don't have time to view the property in person prior to signing whereas the other candidates would be able to view in person.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Carl
