Upfront rent payment

Landlord Discussion

Hello All,

one of the tenants has medium risk in his credit check and one CCJ but seems to afford the rent. could we ask for 6 months upfront rent payment and five weeks deposit for a six months tenancy agreement. or should i do as 5 +1 months AST and take 5 months upfront payment. Please advice

Do the latter and take the five week deposit
That way if the rules go back to pre pandemic you can serve a s21 with two months notice
You may want to read the posts on CCJ and decide if you want to take him or not
