After 40 years it was way to cluttered to sell, plus 4 adults and grandkids in a 3 bedroom 1 bath house, 900 square feet, it was fully packed.So, long story, but a problem with long term tenants is they don't always leave willingly, even with months of notice.

IMO, it's unwise to show a unit with the existing tenant still resident - - you're showing the mess and clutter which always makes the unit look too small.So, showing for a prospective new tenant I wait until it's ready for move-in (yep, that's a vacancy, but it pays me back with better tenants).Showing for the purpose of selling is another matter and the tenant will have to allow access when given written notice of intent to enter the residence - - knock on the door and then use YOUR key.
