Request for Second Showing
I just showed my vacant unit to a couple yesterday, who later emailed me and said they were seriously interested and wanted an application.
I sent the application yesterday, and just now he asked if they could see the apartment again. They haven't sent back the apps.
I'm trying to limit showings due to social distancing, and am currently quarantining over an hour from the property. Of course I'm willing to show again in order to get the place rented, however I'm wondering how I can best respond to this. He didn't state why he wants to see it again, just asked if it would be possible.
I should also mention this is the first seemingly qualified person who is expressing real interest after the first showing, and it's been vacant for a month now. I just don't want to waste my time and take unnecessary risk of exposure.

How often does someone ask for a second viewing? If they passed your initial screening criteria, they should be potentially good tenant candidates. I would rather them see it again and be certain they want to move in versus moving in and then wanting out. Doesn't sound like you have many other applicants right now. Given the current environment, I'd do all that I can to get a good tenant in. (of course being safe, legal, not cutting corners...)
