I have a neighborhood couple in their early 50s who want to rent my home, two houses up from me. They really want to stay in the hills here and it is close to work. From the beginning, they said monthly was a bit too much (they didn't want to ay that much). After a couple months of searching, they found nothing that would work for them. I, of course, held firm on my rental rate. Her and her husband had been calling me in the past two weeks about renting the place on my rental terms. In the beginning, I said no, but now she wants to pay us for the whole year up front just to proof that they are good for the amount and want to sign for a year. I can't figure it out if there are any scams or tricks associated with paying that rent money up front. This includes the first month's rent and security deposit. Husband really like the place because its quiet and has no back yard neighbors. he's a Hollywood writer. Pretty nice couple as far I can see. Any thoughts and advice?
