If you are asking if you should meet the tenant to show them the home, vs them applying sight-unseen, that is a very different answer and should be yes whenever possible. 9 out of 10 times if we secure a lease with tenants who apply to rent a property 'sight unseen' because they are coming from out of town and can't seen it in person until the day of move in [even if they have a friend/relative/agent do a virtual showing and walk through it themselves] it typically never ends well and the home is NEVER what they expected and are unhappy right from the start.
