How do you feel about renting to the buyer before closing?

So I was trolling the Forums and found this post where the original poster was asking about Title Seasoning. 

One response, from Bill G. said to rent it to the buyers prior to closing, then close on day 91. 

I remember my dad giving me some advice way back in the day, saying "Never give possession to the buyer before closing. They could start finding 'issues' with the property, and demand you repair perceived problems before they will close."

I love my dad, and he can be right about a lot of things. But Bill G. also gives good advice. Is my dad's thinking outdated?
