Do you think this person is fraudulent?

Hello all,

I have a prospective tenant applying for a 6 month lease at my 1b1b studio rental unit.  She is an older woman that says she is going through a divorce and wants to move to my town so she can be close to her adult daughter.  She really really wants this unit and has let me know that constantly for 3 days.  She will not complete a background check with me as i require of all my tenants. Instead she had her daughters husband fill out the report and says he will co-sign with her on the lease. He passed the background check with flying colors. She says that she will pay all 6 months of rent and deposit at the signing of lease.

Should i be concerned with this person???

Or should i get all 6 months rent up front and have her son in law cosign on the lease. I'm a pretty new landlord and have not come across something like this before.  thank you for all your advice in advance.

-Curtis
