How Do I Write A Lease For A Weekly Bases Contract?

I want to do my next lease as a week to week but give them the option to pay by the moth. How would this be written up? Thanks

    It would be written up the same way you would as a month to month, except change the wording to week to week.

    The thing to keep in mind for paying monthly on a week to week is some months have 4 weeks, some have 5 weeks. This would make it relatively hard to put it in a lease like you are saying as the amount would flucuate per month. If they do want to pay monthly, either put them on a month to month lease, or tell them that they can pay monthly, and the amount would be pre-paid for a certain amount of weeks.

    If you decide to do this method, it would probably be a good idea to set up some sort of calender with them, or send them statements...

    Be careful. Consult your tax advisor first to understand the tax consequences of operating a weekly rental business.

    The IRS classifies a rental operation where the average tenant rental term is 7 days or less as an active income business, similiar to operating a hotel or motel.

    Just a couple tax effects of a weekly rental business -- You lose the passive income loss allowance; and, your net income is subject to self-employment income taxes.
