Do enough initial m2m leases with the thoughts that you will dump all the devils and convert all the angels to long term and I'll show you a landlord who has higher turnover due to tenants squawking and walking for going to long term who's expectations were short-term.The best scenario is long term leases because they create more profits.

Prorate that over the course of a year and charge a "premium" rent for going month-to-month. 

I'd have been singing hallelujia songs - hey, even if I advertise on Craigslist, I won't get freshmen or sophomores, yay! 

However, by being under priced, you could be forgoing $1k to $2k annually.

I do require co-signers but on renewal will forgo with good payment history and good  tenancy.

But make sure the items your claiming are listed separately.As for going to court - heck - enjoy it!

But I also told them I would forgo the eviction if they were out in two weeks.

@Rachel Pivonka: Do you know the song "Don't pay the Ferryman" by Chris de Burgh?

If you do decide to go forward make sure you get it for a song because this guy won't be able to sell this property to anyone else. 3.

Same song and dance with every property.
