not-so-great tenant

Laura Turner

I have a tenant who slacks on the yard care, lets her kids run around and yell loudly, is rude and argumentative, etc.  Not quite bad enough to be breaking the contract but almost.  Problem is, the property is just a few doors down from where I live, and the neighbors have complained to me about her and her kids.

The lease is over in March, and I don't plan to renew it.  I'll take my chances that I can find better tenants. 

How do I break it to her?  What if she doesn't cooperate when I want to show the property to other prospective tenants?  Should I wait until they move out?  Should I say that I need the property for family members to live in (then how do I get prospective tenants to go along)?

Has anybody ever been in this situation before?
