How to handle this situation?

[Joe Conklin]

I have my current tenant moving out at the end of this month and have scheduled a showing this weekend.  I let my current tenant know a few days in advance.

My current tenant is saying that it's not a good idea to show the unit because it has boxes everywhere because they will be moving out.  I've re-stated that it will be okay and they pushed back again.

My question is, do you do an inspection of the property before you show the condo to potentially new tenants?

Do you still show the messy property even though if it's not going to present well?  I mean we can't force the current tenant to clean up 

How would you approach this situation?
