Month to Month Lease

[Regina Bailey]

I have a tenant who's been renting for 2 years and usually pays on time, but her lease is expiring at the of end November 2020. I have contacted her asking if she would be renewing her lease for another year. She replied and said "I would like to do a month to month, if not I will be moving.". Note that this is not the first time that this has been discussed with tenant upon renewal of lease. And as explained before, we (landlord) don't do month to month and can only give her either a 6 month or 12 month lease. For the record, we have given her 6 month leases for the last year and a half.

Now my question is, I don't do month to month (too much paper work and uncertainty) but considering COVID times we're living in should I accept the month to month or find another tenant (which isn't guaranteed)?

Thank you in advance.
