Fortunately for you it is a landlords market with vacancy rates hovering around one percent or less. Set your initial rent at the top end and high enough to help make up for that loss of a month's rent. 

Having said that, the one month free can be a bit galling for some landlords.  My neighbour had to evict his tenants because of a stolen goods/drug ring they had set up.  He gave two months notice, including one month free.  They trashed the place well beyond the damage deposit.  He was too afraid to go to court as he was afraid of gang retribution.

The landlord/tenant act has few protections if you get bad tenants.
