Tenant won't let me show my property

[Erik Gundersen]

Hello community! 

I'm in the process of selling my duplex in San Jose CA and I have one tenant that is cooperating and one that is not.  He's nearly refused all showings and is not being communicative. Any advice on how I should handle this?  So far my realtor has been corresponding with him and I'm reluctant at this point as I don't want to hit the hornets nest with a short stick. 

My thoughts are to call and simply see where he's at.  I'm concerned that he could really make this difficult on the sale and would like to know what my rights are being that CA is not a landlord friendly state. 

Thanks!
