One Year Lease and Security Deposit Paid Up Front

[Thomas Smith]

I have an applicant that is not currently employed but has offered to pay the entire first year of the lease and the security deposit up front. 

On his rental application he stated that he currently lives with his parents and has for the last 2 years and is willing to pay for a background and credit check.

Of course I have my reservations about entertaining this idea, but I value the input of other members. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated!
