paying year upfront and discount

[Mike Dymski]

Anyone accept a year rent upfront and provide a discount...potential tenant is asking?  If so, what amount of discount do you use?

[Michell P.]

Nope, we don't accept prepaid rent unless a current tenant knows they'll be traveling or some such reason.  

What if they violate your lease and you want them gone but they've prepaid for a year?  

It seems like every story I hear where someone accepted prepaid rent for a year, the tenant turns out to be involved in drugs or criminal activity.
