Rental holding fee?

[Laura Hamilton]

My husband and I found very nice prospective tenants who have both great credits and good employments. Problem is prospective tenants are still under their current lease for a month and now are asking if we could start the lease one week before their current lease ends..but not earlier than that. So we would need to wait 3 weeks before getting rent from the unit.

They are very nice and ready for a 1-year lease. If we agree, what is the habit, should we take a holding fee etc?

Thanks,

Laura
