Potential new tenant question

[Linda Thomas]

Hello BP,

I notified a potential new tenant about deciding to go with her and asked when we can meet so she can give me the security deposit and sign the form. She said she can't do that until I email her a copy of the lease - she wants to read it all over first before giving a deposit to hold the property. I have never been asked by a potential tenant to do this before getting a deposit. What is everyone's thoughts on this? I can understand that she wants to see what she is signing and getting into before giving a deposit is there anything I might be missing and should be concerned about?

I would email the lease but I would still keep looking for other tenants in the meantime.
