Well month-to-month’s are usually drawing a premium too. Your paying a “option” so to speak.
Believe me I am not pro-renter. I took care of my uncle’s low rent properties in college and now that a tenent can be the scum of the earth too.
But I just couldn’t see this guy/gal as being honest and up front. There are plenty of LLs in craigslist that state up front the property is for sale and usually discount the rent pretty heavily on those conditions. Both parties know what is involved and there is full disclosure.
That is an honest deal.
I would just be pissed if the LL came to me and said get out. I FRIGGING HATE MOVING beyond anything!
