You already took them! Even the best tenants on paper can be an issue, so, there's several scenarios that could go very wrong {like problems with the friend} but why bother worrying about it now? They are in, they seem ok, they are on a month to month so if something does not sit well with you, you can just give them notice and move on. Best of luck! Hopefully it all goes well!

"Should i worry that everything seems to be so perfect?" They are not paying their bills.

I wouldn't be too concerned about the 20%, and as one said each tenant has issues...My "perfect tenant" had a partner who always wanted to "tell" us how to fix things or how to put the fan light in or this should be done like that. We went over when he wasn't there - but they paid on time, every time. Then their was the business owner professional, should be great .. of course I had to reminded her about the rent. Then there is the couple who felt they could put a wire advertizing sign in the front yard for their son's painting company. Nipped that in the bud! Everyone has their quirks.. I've come to the conclusion they can't all be perfect like me :) ha.
