Any advice on showing tenant-occupied property during COVID-19?

[Edgar Sanchez]

Situation:

I own a single-family rental property in Dallas, Texas that is currently occupied by a tenant who is moving out. The current lease ends on May 31st, but the tenant has informed me that they’re moving out by the 18th. The lease allows me to show this tenant-occupied property to prospective tenants starting today.

Questions:

1. Under this scenario, would you just wait until they move out to reduce liability?

2. Are YOU waiting for tenants to move out before showing a property to reduce liability?

3. I’m wondering if anyone can share their strategies for safely showing tenant-occupied rentals during COVID-19.
