Tenant keeping apartment untidy and unsanitary

[Sridhar D.]

I have a tenant who has given notice to move out on June 30, 2024. He has agreed to facilitate showings for prospective tenants. However, every time a showing is scheduled the place is so messy that it is impossible to get inside without tripping or potential injury. The place smells bad and there is barely any space to walk. This tenant has been whiny and difficult from the start and I feel like he is doing this to jeopardize showings. 

Is there anything I can do within my rights to address this situation amicably? I don't want to ruffle his feathers and can't wait for him to leave. There has been a lot of interest since I released the ad but people coming for the showings are hugely turned off by the condition of the unit. The unit was newly renovated and looked amazing when it was rented out last year.
