Tenant wants to pay full years rent

[Christof Gardet]

Hey all I was wondering if any of you have had this happen before. It seems kind of sketchy for the tenant to want to pay full years rent. What should I look out for, how can I protect myself for anything bad that can happen? Any and all advice will be appreciated!

If you take a full years rent, then imagine how tough it will be to evict when they bring in 20 people in like a turnstile and start slanging out of your unit.

The easiest reason a court will allow eviction is “non-payment”.

If they have made all payments for a year up front, that will be tough to boot em. Something else is up.

I passed on a similar tenant app from a realtor who wanted to pay 6 months up front, claimed to just have bad credit but I was not impressed with the sob story.
