Maybe have a discussion that you are afraid she can't afford the rent, and you are considering giving her notice because of this (this nips off the "I'm a bit short" excuses)  along what would be necessary for you to be comfortable allowing her to remain as a tenant (catch up on the behind rent, maybe over 3 months period  AND all occupants PASS background check) . 2-3 working adults SHOULD be able to come up with the rent -- I don't imagine that you are gouging anyone.It is possible that if there is a wide open door in front (no 30 notice required if you move in the next 45 days!)

If they're only owned the properties for a short period of time, it's unlikely they're wanting to sell them already.

It's one thing to make a short-term sacrifice, but you have to be comfortable and happy in your home.

I'm still getting settled in so before I get to investing & buying my own residence in the area, I'm deciding to do a short-term rental.

I wanted a tenant who needed a short term lease, I found some students to take the place for $2275 a month on a one year lease.
