Showing Occupied Rentals
Hello Everyone,
I actually did not have any turnover last year on my rentals, so I’m a little late with marketing during COVID.
Are you still showing occupied rentals or have you gone full virtual? Have tenants refused to let you show it? Are they allowed to prevent you from showing it during COVID?
Thanks for any advice.

Thanks everyone for their responses. I was leaning towards not showing in person. It seems like too much of headache and liability during COVID. I normally only show occupied rentals if the tenant is of at least average cleanliness. I’ve had good luck with it in terms of preventing vacancy. However it is definitely more work than having a completely vacant unit.
