Using Month to Month before Yearly Lease

[Stephanie Bureau]

Has anyone tried doing a month-to-month lease before signing a year lease? My thought is that even after fully vetting a tenant is would allow you a chance to see if they will be a good tenant, if they're not you can more easily get them out after the month ends. After say 3 months or so and you and the tenant work well together you can have them sign a year lease.
