Tenant won't let me show house to potential buyers

[Priscilla Z.]

My tenant won't give me permission to show my house to potential buyers. I am marketing it for sale WITH the rental agreement. This was explained to her, that she does not need to leave the property and that the investor that purchases it will want her to stay, but she is uncooperative.

Florida Statute says we need to send a letter stating she needs to "cure" this issue within 7 days or else we can begin the eviction process. We did this. The 7th day is tomorrow, I really do not want to go through the eviction process, especially since it's taking so long in my county.

Has anyone had this problem and been successful in getting your tenant to cooperate? Any advice would be appreciated.
