Trying to figure if this is a red flag or its something common for roomie housing.

I am looking Tenant for a room, he moved to town so searching for job and has bad credit ~500 . He said its beacuse of covid but he got enough savings and offered to pay whole lease amount upfront (3 months lease).

Any red flags here?

Yes. In my experience someone wanting to pay up front is a red flag. Do you have many folks interested or just this person?
