Length of lease - discrepancy

[Dianne Cooper]

I hired a realtor to list my first single family rental house.  A week later, he texted me that he found a client, screened her, and she is ready to sign a 10-month lease.  I agreed via text, but when he sent me the lease agreement today, the dates of occupancy are August 22-May 31.  I have already deposited a cashier's check to cover the security.  Am I obligated to sign the lease agreement, even though it's for only 9 months and 9 days, and go ahead with the deal?  I feel like this realtor, who was recommended to me, does not have my best interest in mind.

Thanks, Mindy!  There are so many useful resources on this website.  I'm learning so much.
