Limit to the number of open houses a landlord/owner can throw?

[Maria G.]

I came across this article and wondered if that is so (only two open houses per month):

That refers to an open house for sale, but just wondering.

Thanks!

It depends on the state law and what your lease agreement says. My state says I'm required to give "reasonable notice" before entering the property. My lease agreement says I will give "at least 24 hours notice" before entering. My lease also says I am authorized to show it to potential buyers or renters with proper notice.

Some tenants fight this and I typically let it go because I know they'll sabotage any showings anyway.

 Holding open houses on occupied rental properties is a non starter. It's counterproductive. Any pro gained from possibly reducing vacancy is eliminated by all the other negatives that come into play such as 

• Inconvenience & or hassle to everyone involved.
• Showings that do not result in a new tenant do to the house not being presented in the best light.
• Miscommunications about the exact condition that the home will be in when the new tenant moves in.
• Delays in the previous tenant moving out which causes delays for the new tenant moving in.
