Showing Occupied Rentals

[Sean McKee]

Hello Everyone,

I actually did not have any turnover last year on my rentals, so I’m a little late with marketing during COVID. 

Are you still showing occupied rentals or have you gone full virtual? Have tenants refused to let you show it? Are they allowed to prevent you from showing it during COVID?

Thanks for any advice.

@Sean McKee - We own over 200 properties here in the Chicagoland area but I really never showed the property while it is occupied. I know some landlords advertise that they do that. But we haven’t really showed occupied properties. I think during normal times it wouldn’t be an issue as long as you know the property is going to show well and your tenants are willing to cooperate. During Covid that can be rather challenging.
