After the ten day period has expired if they do pay the rent you can accept it and give them a receipt noting that the rent is being accepted for use and occupancy only.

RED Flag:  They ask or hint at requiring cash under-the-table to get offers accepted.

He said if I could close by end of July he thought it would be accepted as banks were always eager to close properties by the end of the month.I went into their office to sign paperwork 2 days later and spoke to a different agent.

If the seller is not willing to pay but the seller signed an exclusive right to sell with the listing broker, the seller will be required to pay the broker regardless of it being sold directly by the owner.

I never look at the property until a get an accepted offer.
