Cambridge, southwestern Nebraska | I have advanced rent a few times just to keep on good terms. And I knew the landlord was just down on their luck. They didn’t ask, I just offered after hearing their difficulties.
In your situation I would counter offer with a little less rent. In the very least you should take interest off from now until March 1st. I would charge 10% interest so it makes a little penalty for him and for the inconvenience to you. Also explain to him he may be getting himself into a tax situation by taking more rent in one year. |
