Great potential tenant but cant move in for a month?

[Tyler Labelle]

Found A extremely well qualified tenant but he can't move in until the 15th of September. Do I take his deposit and let it sit empty? Do I offer him the place but only if he signs and pays from September 1st? or do I just keep looking?  I've have 15 people call and probably 8 view the house most of them not meeting the income requirements.  

About me,  I have 5 rentals but I bought them all this year and most of them had tenants in place so this is my first time dealing with filling the door.
