[Landlord US] How do you approach a tenant that has an attitude about everything (including tours) so they don’t scare off the prospective tenant?
I have a great prospective tenant that wants a tour and I don’t want to lose them. The current tenant is snarky, entitled and spews lots of attitude towards me at every interaction of the current lease. So I worry during the tour they will scare the prospect off with either lies or just attitude etc.
Should I warn the prospect that we are not on the beat of terms to give them a heads up about whatever they say or do is to be taken with a grain of salt?
How do I approach this so I don’t lose out of this prospect?
First tours are required as a part of the lease with proper notice. I gave proper notice already. A week notice which was more than fair.
Second I have been given a notice to vacate already by the tenant. It was their choice to leave.
Third I have asked the tenant what time would work for them and they won’t respond. They don’t think I should be doing tours while they live there.
