if you offer to let them stay at the higher rate, there's a very good chance they will accept that offer...

I believe the tenant likely did actually put down a deposit as he originally was trying to pay rent in cash, despite my giving clear instructions I do not accept cash.

I would think letting the LA keep the 6% or whatever would sweeten the chances of getting the offer accepted. 

He sent me a 31 days notice already to see if I accept his early termination lease without paying penalties and he said if we didn't accept he would still pay the rent until the lease end, and I responded to him that I would accept it only if I found the new tenants and in the mean time, he still needs to pay his rent until the lease end, plus when the new tenants move-in, I'll prorated rent for him. 

I guess it will just com down to my comfort level and what I deem to be acceptable surroundings.

So, they negotiate with the ONE buyer their listing agent brings them and end up accepting less for the property even BEFORE the listing hits the MLS.

Showed up and saw how terrible of condition the house was in and made a cash offer, seller accepted with no negotiation.

Originally posted by @David Krulac:@Steve Babiak I'm well aware that PAR is not the only State Approved Plain Language lease, but the op lease is not the only unapproved lease either.The Pennsylvania “PLAIN LANGUAGE CONSUMER CONTRACT ACT” does not require any preapproval of a lease; it simply states the requirements that must be met and that preapproval by the office of the Attorney General indicates that the language is acceptable.

I don't know of any brokerage that won't accept a motivated agent.
