@Kyle J., @Steve Vaughan, @Travis Frenchak, @Debbie C.- Do you ever raise rent on a month-to-month lease? 

@Travis Frenchak - thanks for sharing your thoughts. I am a newbie to this and appreciate your insight.

@Travis Frenchak my initial thinking was that I would have dependable, consistent money coming in and I wouldn’t be surprised by a tenant leaving at a time that would be inconvenient for me. But maybe this is not the right way to think about this?

@Debbie C. thanks for your insight. The BP community is really smart!

@Steve Vaughan excellent points. I need to check in about the eviction moratorium.

@Kyle J. Excellent points, thanks. Some say the benefit of a term lease is locked in stable funds coming in every month. What are your thoughts on this?

Hello BP,

I have a duplex that I house hack. I have a tenant and she is good and she pays on time. Her lease is up for renewal and she would like a 18 month lease. In general I am fine with this, but I am aware that she recently lost her job and has been working at a temp agency. She said she hopes she will get hired permanently but that's not certain. Should I move forward with the long term lease? Are there any clauses I should put in the list to protect myself?

@Al Diaz- Thank you!

@Aaron W. thanks!
