Tenant requesting 6 month lease.

[Simon Lopez]

<------Newbie here.

Yearly lease is up next month.  PM tells me the renter is asking for a 6 month lease that would end September, instead of a yearly lease.  Is it hard to find renters before the holidays?  6 months is a lot better than Month to Month right?   She's never late and is a good renter.   I was thinking I can keep rent same or raise the rent a few bucks for the 6 months.   I also thought of lowering it significantly for a 1 year lease.   Then again if she takes the last deal she can possibly leave in 6 months anyway.

Im leaning towards agreeing to the 6 months and offering a 1 year lease with a big discount in rent.  And let her decide.  But i wanted to know if there are any other options i'm missing?

Thanks in Advanced.
