Potential tennant wants me to hold the property for them

Hi I closed on a house in mid December and was trying to rent the place out by Jan. 1st. It's 12/27 and all the work needed is done and it's move in ready. I have had multiple showings but have found no suitable tenants except one guy who said he would rent it if I let him start the lease on Feb. 10th instead.

He seems qualified, wife is studying to be a doctor.

What would you guys do? I don't have any other applicants interested right now so I was considering it. :/ But the downside is i would lose a month and 10 days of rent. But i could lose even more if I say no and he doesn't want it and I don't 'find someone else....
