Renting to Church of Latter-day Saints - missionary tenants

[Jennifer Mullen]

Does anyone have experience renting to the LDS church or others that have missionaries? I need to know how to word my lease agreement. They said we should name the church corporation. Normally you would have the tenants information on the lease but in this case the church is paying directly and the missionaries who will live there rotate out every six weeks. So the responsible party for paying rent is not actually occupying the property. The church representative who would sign the lease is their housing coordinator. He said he has a form validating his authority to sign for the church. People I have spoken to think this is a great opportunity to work with them and we would never have problems. I'm just not sure how to edit my lease to make sure we are covered. And if anyone has experience with this, please share any additional advise. I should also mention we just had this duplex built and this is our first experience being landlords. We plan to rent out the other side as well. Thanks!!
