Signing a lease today and and not moving for 30 days...questions.
Hello BP community. I have have a quick query. I have a rental property in Philadelphia that I have found a tenant for but this tenant cannot move until August 15th....and today is July 11th. I wanted to know what the correct process is to move forward with this prospective tenant. I want to sign the lease and take the sec dep. first and last months rent....but I am not sure if that is customary to do given the gap in time before the tenant takes possession of the property. With all other tenants I have, the exchange of sec dep. first and last happens at lease signing then possession is taken immediately or the next day. Your feedback is appreciated and valued. Thanks!
