Is it okay for tenant to pay one years rent up front

[Doug Prahst]

So, I have an applicant for an apartment that I'm renting that will pay for one years' rent up front.

It's not an internet scam, I actually met this person. They live two houses away in a 1 bedroom and want a two bedroom.

When I asked her why, she said she's from Puerto Rico and that's what she's accustom to doing.

Are there issues or concerns with this?
