Selling property, tenants interfering
We have decided to sell our rental. Tenants are in until the end of July. We plan to list July 1st. The lease agreement states that tenants will allow us to show the house the last 30 days. Now that we are trying to prep the house for sale they are getting in the way. One major thing they are preventing is for us to get good pictures. They have large storage bins piled all over the entryway and living room. We asked if they could move them to the garage just for the hour or so that the photographer is there but they refuse. They say that the items are fragile and due to the heat in Phoenix they have to keep them inside (even though it is just 1 hour). They have been combative and difficult to deal with throughout their lease so it isn't surprising. Just wondering if there are any suggestions to get them to comply since having good pictures of the house is essential to getting potential buyers in to see the house.
