Florida Law regarding accelerated rent payments

I have a prospective tenant that submitted a rental application that was denied due to very poor credit. He has now offered to pay rent in advance for six months. Is this legal in the State of Florida?

I think the better way to say it is you would have less leverage to evict him if he is paid 6 months rent in advance.
Is the six month rent an additional security deposit, or for the actual rent? I think both are up to the discretion of the landlord, but if he pays six months in advance, it's harder to evict him if his rent is paid up.
