Owner wants to wait to move

[Elizabeth Beard]

I have two situations where I’m trying to get the agreement signed, and in both cases they want me to allow them to stay for a short period of time after close until they find another house. They want to use the money from the close to fund their new house because they don’t have good credit. It pulls my heart strings and I want the deal. Do I let them stay for a few weeks until they can use the money to get another place? Or am I going to find myself in a position with a tenet who won’t pay rent and is impossible to evict? Would love to hear best practices out there.
