Condo investor in Falls Church, VA

[Israel Kloss]

Hello BP greater-DC community!

 Here's a simple problem someone must have had before. 

I own a condo in Falls Church City (in Falls Plaza) and I want to sell it but I owe too much on it to afford a listing realtor. So I recently listed it FSBO on the MLS (mrishomes.com).

I'm offering 3% to the buyer's agent. I have a current renter through June 30, 2016. 

My renter is insisting that I wait to do nearly ALL improvements to the condo until she and her family are gone. 

Her objection is against the dust stirred up by the window replacement we want to do due to alergies in her family. 

I recognize that she's really the authority on what her family can and cannot handle in terms of dust and maybe they really are super sensitive to drywall dust and other dust that the job will require. 

However, she is also asking to postpone an open house until Mid-May and I'm getting multiple requests to see the condo that must be postponed until mid-May because she doesn't want to open the condo. The lease she signed actually states that she must open the condo to prospective buyers in case of the owner's intent to sell. 

I've heard of renters totally sabotaging deals. Has anyone heard of or experienced a renter-sabotaged sale before? If so, can you tell me about it? What happened? 

Befuddled and Frustrated, 

Israel Kloss
