Actually, in my short landlord experience, I heard about it being favored by experienced landlords because of trouble/liability factor:
-if a renter does not want to stay the whole year, you cannot really force them to stay (good luck recovering lost rent+fees if they move over night to a different county/country/state)
-if a renter is not desirable anymore for a whole year, you can part ways easy and legally in just 1-2 months.
Usually is used as month to month but heard about 20+ years month-to-month renters cases.
OP,
I would recommend Extended stay for 1-2 months.
for 6 months, there are houses outhere, you just need to find them.
Month-to-month is usually a privilege granted to good tenants by an landlord who is more interested in keeping them as tenants than locking them into a lease.
Your best bet is a sublet. You might be able to get discounted rent.
I've always rented housesmonth to month, if there is a 1 year lease I would argue for month to month.
