Showing an Occupied property-when it is a mess..

How do you deal with showing a property that filthy tenants currently live in?  I hate to show the house in the shape it is in and I cant force the current renters to clean up their act... Dirty dishes, laundry...Stuff everywhere!

I show the house all the time while the tenant is in the house. It has helped me maintained my almost 0 vacancy turnover. What is the neighborhood like? If it is a highly desirable area I would tell them that you will have it rent ready but wanted to get the first crack. If you don't think the house will rent, have you thought about offering the tenant a free "clean". As a thank you for letting you show the house?
