State Specific Question About: FLORIDA (FL)
I have an issue. I am selling a unit (also because the tenants were difficult), and every time the realtor and I try to arrange a copy of the door key, an appointment to show the unit, the tenants disappear or block their phones, and appointments are missed, or we cannot show the unit. What are our rights? --72.46.xxx.x |

The only option is to evict then temporary move into the house then the problem is over with. Consider contacting a landlords association for advise. Google to find a landlords association near you. --74.220.xxx.xx |

What does your lease say?
I know lots of people here are able to show occupied units, either for the next batch of tenants or for selling, but unless selling with the tenants in place is a marketing plus, it might be easier and faster to sell it empty, rather than selling with uncooperative tenants in place. --96.46.xxx.xx |

I give my tenants a single blanket notice (US mail w/receipt) when I intend to enter to show (e.g., 9am to 1 pm, every Saturday) until they have vacated.

How much longer until their lease is up? You could try to incentivize them to cooperate or leave early without repercussions. --24.61.xxx.xx |

HC, you shd NEVER try to show a property while a property while a tenant is still occupying! You must not have been reading on this site for a very long, because if you were you would already know this. Showing a property with all the current tenant's STUFF in it makes it look small, dark, dirty and unsavory! And that is with a cooperative tenant. With an uncooperative one, it is just madness.
You always want to show your property in its BEST condition. That is: after the tenant and all his stuff is gone, after it has been repaired and cleaned to the max, so it looks large and bright and clean as a whistle. You never want to trust that the new tenant--or buyer--has the ability to see all the good points,see past someone else's crap.
A picture's worth a THOUSAND words. The picture they see when they see the unit is what they will remember. So you want them to see it empty and sunny and clean and ready. That's when you make the sale. Anything less than that you driving the buyer away, and shooting yourself in the foot.
PS: Not to mention you are also handing the PITA tenant a golden opportunity to mess you over even more! --108.87.xx.xxx |

I have been reading on this site for a long time, but i know that my best move is to start showing my property immediately yon news of impending vacancy. I contact tenants 60 days before expiration of lease, get a new lease signed within 10-15 days, else give notice of intent to enter to show and start advertising. I am not interested in down time after tenant has left.
Are there problems? Potentially, yes, but a lot depends on your market. In the 6 weeks remaining I get to see a lot of applicants, turn down more than 50% without even showing, I have no problem to find suitable applicants who become suitable tenants,
What I have learned is this: Investing in a bad market with a bad tenant pool is a bad idea. That includes, applicants who cannot comfortably pay for what I am selling, unreasonable tenants, tenant with whom I cannot reason, tenant who don't keep clean or who damage property. Educated tenants have no problem to see an apartment where someone has been living for a few years, and to visualize how it will look clean and with the applicant's own things. They can see the apartment, and find me reliable on the promise of complete paining and cleaning.
