Question on listing a unit still occupied
I have a tenant moving out next month. I'd like to list this unit as soon as possible. The only pictures I have of this unit is when I went through on inspection. It obviously has all of her belongings in the photos, couch, beds etc. Normally I wouldn't hesitate to put those pictures in my online listing ads, but this particular tenant is a bit of a "hornet" about almost everything in her life.
And of course, me being the strict landlord and laying down the new law of the land, I've hit her hornet nest a few times. :) Anyway... Just checking if anyone has ever had someone get all crazy for posting pics in their ads with their tenants furniture in the apartment? I've tried searching for anything legal that could bite me and couldn't find anything. But thought I'd ask the more seasoned landlord's what their thoughts, experience on the topic are. The apartment is decorated very nicely and I'd love to be able to just use those pics. I'm just imagining her looking online in search of her new apartment and seeing "her" apartment online and going all "hornet" on me.
Thoughts?

What does the lease say? As long as there isn't anything personal in the photos I don't see an issue. I try to avoid valuables/personal items when I take my pictures. Sounds like this lady has been a gem.
