If you are a landlord who has decided that it is time to cash in on one of your rental properties, then you likely face the common issue of selling a tenant-occupied home.

Opening the home to various real estate agents and prospective buyers is undoubtedly an inconvenience to tenants, especially since they are not related to this real estate transaction and are facing the stress of moving out.

As opposed to owner-occupants, tenants have nothing to gain from the sale and can sometimes be reluctant to let showings happen.
