In some states, it is against the law to collect more than a couple month's rent, so you have to check into that.I automatically turn down any applicant who wants to pay a year in advance.For an existing tenant who has been a good tenant, I would take the money, put it into escrow and pay myself month by month as it came due.Tentant would still be on a month to month agreement and if I wanted him out, I'd give 30 day notice and refund the balance of the rent.An exception: If I rented to college students, they sometimes pay the entire semester's rent out of their grant money.

All it does is make them look like self-righteous jerks, running other people down.Generalized complaints about the lack of education in this country that are not directed at a specific poster aren't included in the above rant.
