Renter offering year's worth up front for a discount

[David Siegel]

Hey all, I have a renter who wants to offer an entire year's worth of rent up front  in exchange for a discounted price on rent. The property is in San Diego. Can anyone think of any issues with accepting this offer?

TIA for your replies!

@David Siegel The only question you should concern yourself with is "are they qualified?"  If they meet your rental criteria and have a solid app, sure, why not cut them a small deal.  

In my experience, no tenant offers a full year upfront if they are qualified.  This type of offer is a major red flag to the professionals, and for good reason.
