Renting knock-down rebuild pre council/demolition

We've had the offer of a short term tenant whilst waiting for CDC/DA home approval and demolition for our knock down rebuild. It would achieve a pretty low rent as it's very basic inside. The short term income would be very helpful but am I right in thinking we may come across too many challenges if we do this e.g. tenants not leaving, complications with short-term utility connection/disconnections, too many faults to fix. Could anyone give their opinion on this.
