Do you allow split payments for security deposit?

[William C.]

Hello all,

I am currently trying to fill a rental vacancy. Someone contacted me and asked whether the security deposit can be paid over the course of the first 3 months. If so, they can move in two weeks. If I don't allow the deposit flexibility, they would have to wait until a month later to move in.

Does it sound like a red flag to you? This is the first time I get a request like this. Your comments are greatly appreciated.
