Lease duration -- other than 12 months?

[Maria G.]

Hello,

I was wondering if there is any disadvantage to having an 11-month lease, instead of a 12-month lease. I had the perfect lease start time and end time but I let my renters do an extra month at the end of their lease (after staying for two years) and I feel that an end date of end of September is better than an end of October, in terms of catching college students, etc.

What do you think?

Thanks!
