Tenant Issues when I put Property up for Sale.

I am currently having some trouble with a picky tenant after I put my duplex up for sale. I have posted interior pictured of her unit on the MLS, she complained to me and said she even talked to a lawyer and said she could sue me over it. Also since I am selling she wants to end her 2 year lease she just signed last month. What advice do you have for me? I already told her verbally she could leave with 60 days notice. Should I try to enforce the lease or is it too late? Should I take the pictures down?

Brad McGuirk you're now on the right course - referencing your lease. In addition to doing that - express some non-financial empathy for your tenant. Soft spoken words and acts of kindness can go a very long way to smoothing over strained relationships.

Find common ground with her - and work from there.
