Be aware that if you change the term by changing when his rent is due in this way then a judge is likely to view that as his term rather than M2M and he would only have to give you
1/2 a month notice when he plans to move.

Does the day he gets paid move around or is it on a fixed date? If it is on a two-week schedule, he is probably still going to have issues with getting you the rent on the 15th. Tenants like to push for the date after the 15th instead of planning ahead when their check falls on say the 7th this time around.

Also be careful that you don't fall under the regulations for motels and hotels in your county by doing this. That could result in requirements that you to collect a room tax and pay it to local government for things like supporting tourism and the local chamber of commerce.
