Bad showings as our tenants are filthy
This really the first time that I ran into this before but we have a great house that we did in 2012 that is showing terribly to prospective tenants as the current tenants are filthy and seem to love clutter.
We normally have no trouble renting our houses (even with tenants in them) but despite over a dozen showings we haven't had any good bites on this one, just a bunch of comments like 'how can people live like this'.
Despite my assurances that the house will be delivered exactly like the photos I sense that people are having a hard time getting past the mess.
