Are they from the UK or moving here from abroad?
I know some people who've gone to work abroad and been given a housing allowance up front and so they've paid a year's rent in advance.
In fact I was talking to someone about that last night who's got a flat in Abu Dhabi for a year, paid up front, and has lived there for 8 weeks, and whose contract is probably not going to be renewed due to covid. Luckily his employer paid.
