Long term stay requests from guests

[Mark4168]

Hello all I host a extra room in my house that I live in, in NW New Jersey. I had a guest today request a long term stay up to a year. He has 3 good reviews. He said he just started a job here at a gas station and asked for a break in the rate around $1000 for 31 days. I told him normally for long term stays I would ask him to fill out a rental application. He said he is 20 from Turkey, doesn't smoke or drink.

What do you all think?

I told him I like to host through airbnb because of the insurance airbnb offers hosts like me. 

I left it that he could book it for one month or less while he looks for a place.

I told him that apartments in my area rent for $1600 per month. He hasn't responded but read my messages.

Here is my listing.

My two cents dealing with contract workers and many immigration workers. is basically even a U S citizen working at a gas station can't afford my STR.  There  are designated rentals they can afford.
