Landlords who start showing the apartment while the current tenant is still in there are lame as fuck
Should be a law against it.
You’re paying the full normal rent for the month, you should get full normal use.
Their vacant/turnover is not your problem.

We manage +1000 units and lease 30-40 units per mo.
1. It actually slows down the leasing process to show it while occupied—I actually have the data. And yes owners think it helps, but it hurts.
2. It is a contract everyone signed, so welcome to grownup land.
3. Tenants are…

It would get “priced in” and the cost would tilt towards benefiting “1 and done” lease holders, and negatively impact multi-year tenants.

"if you enter my apartment without my permission I will consider it a hostile act, and I'll be waiting with my shotgun to deter any intruders"
@NipseyHoussle
I don’t re-list for rent until tenant is out. Allows time to determine security deposit refund and repairs.
Many owners dislike it bc they want to market as soon as they know the tenant is leaving. No way Jose.
@NipseyHoussle
There are lax laws in place unfortunately. Gotta find a good legal team to start paving the way forward. 48 hour notice is kinda ancient.
@NipseyHoussle
It’s in the lease and if it wasn’t vacancy loss would be higher. I’m sure they would remove it you wanted to cover the extra month of vacancy spread over the term of your lease.
@NipseyHoussle
They don’t have to let you show it in most states. You can do inspection but not showings. I usually offer to buy the family lunch out to do 3 hour open house (or movie/drinks/popcorn) and most are cool with that. For folks wanting to vacate early, I do make that a requirement…
@NipseyHoussle
put it in the lease one way or the other
Tenant can demand it be banned in the lease and the owner can choose not to rent to them or rent to them at some premium
@NipseyHoussle
Ask for that in the lease when you sign it. Landlord will either not rent to you or will increase the rent by 8.3% on a 12 month lease.
Bank on it.
