As I said in my earlier post, trust the professionals.

So as a 'reward' for tenants being good, I paid to have professionals go steam clean the carpet twice a year.

I’ve been considering it for a long-term rental, AirBnB, or even a short-term rental for professionals.

Readers should seek professional advice.

Here are the Positives:Upfront Payment: The tenant’s offer to pay the full year of rent upfront, along with the deposit, shows a commitment and provides financial security for you in the immediate future.At least She was Honest in Her Communication: The tenant has been transparent about her situation, which can be a positive sign of reliability and sincerity.My Negative Concerns:Her Future Financial Stability: It's only a one-year lease, if her medical condition and financial condition should worsen (Heaven forbid), you may have to face her wanting out of the lease earlier than the 12 months and eventually you may be faced with having to decide not to renew the lease (after her 1 year contract is expired) based upon the sad news of her condition becoming worse, (Heaven forbid).  

If you were competing against us... a friendly respectful, professional-behaving couple that didn't monthly harass them like a desperate maniac you will lose.4.
