Tenants wont move

[Tim Klotz]

I have a tenant that wont move, completly. Feb 2nd tenant called and told me that they would be out 2/15. 1yr Lease expires 3/1 They still owe the rest of January's rent, as well as Feb rent. I did not evict them, because up until they told me they were leaving, they were working with me on the rent. They started moving out, and the majority of their stuff is out, however there is still a lot of stuff they havent moved yet. They are not staying there. I have tried contacting them at their last known phone number, no answer, and no return call.

My problem is I have out of state prospects, who have already passed my screening, with flying colors, who need housing by 3/2. Before they agree to take house, they want to see it, understandably so. They want pictures, and they have a relative who would be coming by to look in person. But I cant show it or get pictures in its current condition, plus do I have the right to access the property to show it, or get pictures, or are they still in possession of it, requiring advanced notice? again I cant seem to get ahold of them, I am running the risk of losing some potential good tenants because of this, they are running out of time to secure housing, any advice? By the way This is in Canton, Ohio
