Renting a home, tenant/landlord S.O.P. question
What is the S.O.P. when it comes to putting up a home for sale with renters currently there?
I am currently renting a nice home from a friend of a close friend. I pay maybe 5% under market and they get a great tenant that pays on time, takes great care of the home and I fix EVERYTHING myself.
Well he has decided to put the home on the market while we are here, which is perfectly fine and I told him we would "work with him". My question is how should showings work? It's been on the market for maybe 4 months now (priced way over market) and we do maybe 4-5 showings a month. To be honest, it has gotten to be a pain in my azz prepping the house and leaving for these showings.
Is it normal for a tenant to do/allow this for a landlord or am I getting walked on here? I was thinking of offering a nominal holdback per showing off each months rent but if the precedent is that this is normal then I wont bother. I have never rented before some I'm out of the loop on this stuff. Thanks guys.
