[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. It's perfectly acceptable.  They do not have to leave and they have legitimate reasons to be there.  They aren't interfering with anything.  You ATA. [/quote]

OP here: I get they have a lease and can stay but it’s just odd to me and annoying and even my agent said she’d never once had a tenant stay during an inspection. I’m just worried about a toddler getting in the way during it. [/quote]

We stayed for the inspection when we were in her shoes.  We work from home and we had already been inconvenienced enough by the lying realtors and owners. We were still paying the full price of $5,000 a month to live there so we were done being inconvenienced. [/quote]

Same here. Also, our landlord had told buyer we were moving out, but told us that buyers would be our landlords.  We had a 2 year lease and no plans to move, and were annoyed with endless showings to people who clearly intended to move in.

[b]OP, it's her home. Would you let strangers rattle around your home unsupervised? Let alone take PTO for it?[/quote][/b]

[b]It has nothing to do with them being tenants-99.999% of the time, the sellers leave for the inspection.[/b]

Right?  People are so disrespectful to tenants.

Sellers get to prepare the house for sale by getting a storage unit. Tenants won’t and shouldn’t pay to prepare the house for sale the same way an owner would. [/quote]

Presumably the tenant has already been inconvenienced by having prospective buyers trooping into her rented home during the sale process. Where does the OP think the renter is going to go during the inspection? Should she get a rental refund for the time she is denied access to her home?

If the landlord wanted to show an empty house, they should have ended the tenancy and then prepared the house for sale. It seems that the landlord wants to keep getting rental income as long as possible.[/quote]

This is the right way to look at it. This is a greedy landlord. When we were renting many years ago (in a different city), our landlord wanted to sell the house at the end of our lease. He said that he wanted to start showing the house, and we said no. We didn't want open houses with strangers walking through the house that was full of our valuables. He even suggested that we could get some offsite storage where we could move our valuables--of course, he didn't offer to pay for that, and I wouldn't have gone for it anyway. So this tenant has probably already done more than she was obligated to do for purposes of selling the house. I would not want OP and some inspector looking through every room, closet, crawlspace, etc. without me there. My guess is that the tenant doesn't even need to allow the inspection, although maybe the lease requires it.

TLRD, OP is being self-centered[/quote]
