What would you do? Please help!

My tenant's lease expires May 31st and when I asked them about renewing they informed me that the father had lost his job. They are asking to do month to month until he finds another job.

What would you do in this situation??

I'm tempted to allow it because they have been good tenants, but the father has only been at that job for a year (he was just starting it when they moved in last year) and I am starting to wonder if he has problems holding down jobs.

I would love some perspectives here.

If they're good tenants, then you should work with them as long as they can still pay their rent on time. But the minute their late, send out you late notice and start the eviction process. Remember, you are running a business not a charity. Also, you should be glad that at least your tenants are communicating with you. That shows some promise.

Hope that helps!
