Prospective tenant wants to pay 1 year in advance??

[Kel S]

Well guys we have a tenant that got some sort of settlement. She's about 40 and told us upfront that her credit is not good. She was right. I ran it and it's not. She apparently is suppose to go back to work for this one company in a couple months. I think she has a workers comp or some sort of accident settlement. In any case, hubby wants to go ahead and rent to her. I'm nervous, but her paying a year upfront doesn't sound too bad. That's about 8k. She's suppose to meet with hubby tomorrow and bring a check.

Would you all take the year in advance from a tenant with bad credit? Good thing is she has no evictions from what the report showed, so that did make me feel better.
