Tenant does not allow showing during last month of lease for 10-14 days

[Pooja Jadhav]

Hi everyone, I own a single-family home with a mother-daughter layout and have rented out the lower level to two tenants. Their lease is set to end on April 30, 2025. I'm currently searching for new tenants and coordinating showings with the existing tenants. However, they recently informed me that they won't be available for showings from April 9th to 19th due to vacation plans. Ashley (let's say current tenant) is uncomfortable with potential tenants viewing the space while they are away. I responded that while I understand their concerns, I need to find a new tenant since they are moving out. Blocking off 10-14 days during this critical time could prevent interested parties from securing the rental. I suggested that they arrange for someone to be present for showings or that I, as the landlord, would ensure their belongings remain untouched during the process. I feel that Ashley's stance is unreasonable. According to the lease agreement, I have the right to show the property to prospective tenants, and the current tenants cannot unreasonably refuse access. What do you think? As I'm new to being a landlord, I'm looking for advice on options besides pursuing legal action.

If it is in the lease or the law allows it, show the place. 

Flat out tell them that you cannot lose two weeks of critical showing time and it's unfortunate that they booked their vacation right before they are moving out. 

Maybe you can appease her by video calling her during the showings. She can see that nothing it being disturbed. Also protects you when that expensive ring "goes missing".
