The tenant broke my lockbox off the door/called police on buyers

[Sean Hayes]

Hello all,

I have recently listed a house in stone mountain Ga. There are currently tenants in the property who agreed to let me take pictures excluding her bedroom. I took pictures of the entire house intending on keeping her bedroom picture for prospective buyers who inquired about the house. to make a long story short she was pissed about the pictures and is now claiming I had to right to enter the house. Even though I have text documenting her giving me an ok to go. Also, her son let me in the house!!

She has now taken my supra lockbox off of the door, made a police complaint and is trying to file a complaint to the NAR.

Has anyone dealt with tenants like this?? Are any of her complaints legit?

@Sean Hayes There's never a dull moment in this industry! This hasn't happen to me before but I have two pieces of advice: 

1) Call your broker ASAP. He or she should have the right action for you.

2) Either dump the listing or wait until the tenant moves out to sell the property. If she complains about photos, just wait until you try and show it or inspector(s) want to spent 3 hours poking around every corner. This looks like it'll be a huge time suck dealing with the drama.
