House Hack, Term Lease vs Month-to-Month?

[Mason Jeffries]

Hi everyone! I have converted a SFH into two separate units for the purpose of house hacking. I'll will live downstairs and will be renting the 3br/1.5bth upstairs which will be ready this summer. This will be my first experience as a landlord and I'm a bit nervous.

If you were in my shoes, would you be more interested in a long term lease for stability or month-to-month in case your new neighbors turn out to be not so great?

So... long term or month-to-month and why?

Thanks!
