We could sign him into our own lease and do a normal year term after our screening.

You need a MUCH better screening process.

@Joe Splitrock sorry my 4 year old tapped my screen while i was writing my previous response and prematurely posted it.

Screen better !

It doesn't mean you need to be rude - just keep a professional tone and remember you have many more records in your pipeline. my advice to you is to put a sticky note on your computer screen that says "PROFESSIONAL TONE" or something of that sort to have in front of you, so it's visual during the entire conversation.4.

If your screening standards are high, then your property needs to be good quality.

Inherited tenants should only be put onto a month to month lease, because you did not screen them and have no way of knowing if they will be good or bad tenants.

Evictions don't help us as landlords because we're forced to turnover units at a cost...when considering deferring the marginal non-payment of a tenant...you're saying you would rather come out of pocket $5,000 to turn over a unit than let $50/month go on non-paid rent...that's just silly...and its not principal its math.If you have dealt with a 1,000 section 8 folks and your knee jerk is to evict you should tighten up your screening process.
