Advertising rental during reno

[Meghan Cheek]

Hello!

Our tenant just gave her notice and will be moving out at the end of April.  We bought the property (two family that we are house hacking downstairs unit) over the summer.  We would like to do some renovations, specifically redo the kitchen and possibly the bathroom, when she moves out.  My question is, should we wait to advertise the unit for rent until the renovations are complete, or should we post it and explain the work that is going to be done?  We want to get the best rent possible but also want to limit vacancy time as much as possible.  Any thoughts would be appreciated, thank you!
