Tenant does not want to allow showing apt before lease ends ?

Hi all,

Tenant gave written notice and has been a good tenant but now I have requested to show the property on Sat 2-4pm (more than 24 hrs notice ) and now I'm told they don't feel comfortable allowing strangers into the apt until after they leave. ( no wording in the lease on this ).

What are the rules here in California ?
How to talk with tenant to cooperate ?

Need advice on this one.

WHEN CAN THE LANDLORD ENTER THE RENTAL UNIT?
...
Special rules apply if the purpose of the entry is to show the rental to a purchaser. In that case, the landlord or the landlord's agent may give the tenant notice orally, either in person or by telephone

Thanks, Richard C
