UNDERSTANDING SHOWINGS AND THE TENANT

 

1.   A Tenant must allow showings.

 

2.   Showing must be reasonable. Reasonableness is determined by a judge in litigation and litigation needs to be avoided.

 

3.  The Tenant must be given 24 hours written notice of showings.

 

4.  The Tenant does have to allow a lock box to be placed on the door or premises.

 

5.   The Tenant can refuse to allow the owner, agent or potential buyers to take photos that show their personal property.

 

6.  Failure to allow showings is a “CURABLE NONCOMPLIANCE”. If this occurs, the Tenant is violating the lease and the law and must be given a SEVEN DAY NOTICE OF NONCOMPLIANCE WITH OPPORTUNITY TO CURE.

 

7.  If the Tenant continues to refuse reasonable showings after notice and you have solid proof, we may be able to evict the Tenant for you.

 

8.  The Tenant is not to be harassed or inconvenienced.  If the Tenant limits times, conditions or dates, the Tenant must be reasonable.

 

Unless the lease contains a Termination on Sale or Contact clause, assure the Tenant that the lease must be honored per the law.  Being reasonable and respectful with the Tenant makes a lot of difference in the experience you will have showing the Tenant occupied home.
