I came up with the idea of just offering the landlord
6 months rent in advance, even the full year,
but not sure of any legal implications of that.

There is no legal issue with pre-paying a lease. You
can do whatever you and the landlord agree to do. In fact,
since you are paying in advance, you should ask for a small
discount (to cover the time value of money).

There is one issue, however. A renter asking to pay cash
or offering to prepay on a lease is a big red flag to most
landlords. This is often the story used by a bad renter,
or someone who has trashed a place or intends to set up a
meth lab.
