That’s not a bad tactic, but I wonder if that might scare the owner. And there by lessening the chance of getting into the place.
I mean if I was a landlord, I wouldn’t want to hear that the new renter might leave at any time, and being told that from day one.
Unless I happened, on the off chance, to find a landlord who cared about something besides the cash flow….which is how likely? Business is business-I respect that.
I suspect that increasingly the only thing most landlords are concerned about are saving a failing property-and getting the highest rent possible-not wanting to mess with “stipulations”.
