Sentence check please ?

Landlord : We have 1 month lease, 6 month lease and 1 year lease. How long do you want to stay here ?
Me : Hmm, I'm not sure if I can stay for any long. Which one do you recommend ?

Is it acceptable to use 'I'm not sure if I can stay for any long' in this sentence ?

Your sentence is grammatically incorrect. You can say "I'm not sure I can stay THAT long," though!

No. You need "very long". I'm not sure if I can stay for very long.

But shouldn't you just take the shorter lease if you can't stay very long? Why ask the landlord what he recommends?
