Why does a pre tenant have to have a home visit?

I don't live there in sorry I couldn't help you.

We did it many years ago but they require a home visit to see how you are currently living. They feel this will give them insight to what kind of Tennant you will be and if you were lying on your application (ie. A family you left out or living above your means).

I don't live there. Hence, I don't know the answer. Sorry.

I don't know why
