Selling Occupied Properties

I've had a property listed for sale in the South Side Slopes in Pittsburgh, PA since August 11th of 2020. I have had nothing but issues trying to schedule with the occupants to get in the property. I've been able to get my marketing team through the property and have scheduled two showings for this property since this was listed. When I was able to enter the property on Saturday when I tried to conduct an open house, I had to cancel the last minute for the house was in disarray. The tenants have bunnies that roam wild through the second floor of the house just urinating and defecating all over the floors in the property. The tenants are keeping the property in poor condition. The house smells of animals and has deterred any potential buyer because they are able to occupy until August of  2021. If you have any sort of advice, I would be greatly appreciative.

Surely that's a violation of the lease.  And if you don't want the hassle have you thought about turning it over to a property management company to do the heavy lifting for you on the eviction?  It would be worth the cost to get the stress off of you I'd say.
