Forum / Leasing Issues / Do you see any issues with this?

I have accepted a new tenant for my rental property. She isn't available to move in until Nov 11th. We are meeting Friday Oct 20th to sign the lease, which at this time I was going to ask for first months prorated rent to hold the property. Then on Nov, 10th when we meet to exchange keys/walk through, etc, she can then pay the security deposit. She doesn't have all the security deposit at this time, but does have the prorated rent, which is one reason I'm doing it that away and another reason, if for any reason, she bails out.. I believe I would have a better chance at holding the first months rent vs security deposit (I read that online here, so not positive). Thoughts?
