How would you handle this?
I had great renters until they decided to buy another house and we put the rental up for sale. The last 60 days while we have had it for sale and they were waiting to close on their house, they have become a nightmare. Always arguing with us about showings and we give 24-36 hour notice. Her excuse one time was she had to wash her clothes. In 60 days we have had less than 10 showings so we aren't overwhelming them. I also found out they painted 2 rooms without written or verbal permission. And they changed light fixtures and added dimmers. Always having to explain that the light fixtures don't belong to us during showings have been a MAJOR issue with buyers. We had a showing scheduled this week and I went by the house to place some flyers in the info tube and their was trash sitting our where potential buyers would walk in. Also they quit caring for the shrubbery and they bushes are 1/2 way up the window and a bush in the back has grown up to the roof. I am collecting the keys next weekend from them and I know they are going to be argumentative when I bring these issues up. Just wondering how I should handle it? This is our first experience with renters.
