12 Mos Rent Up Front- Yes or No

[Jeorgia B.]

I began looking for a tenant for my new rental property a few days ago and have received a lot of interest. One of the applicants qualifies in every way (clean background check, good credit score, non-smoker, etc) except that she has no income. She was previously married to a wealthy individual and currently lives off of the divorce settlement. She has offered to pay the full lease term (12 mos) upfront since she has no regular verifiable income.  Is there any reason I should not accept her as a tenant that I’m not thinking of? It would be her and her 4 year old daughter occupying the home.

If you were going to do a 12 month lease then I don’t see a problem.
