We have a tenant that is in the military and is being reasigned to a different base of operation. She did pay her rent on time and did give us 45 days notice of breaking her lease, but is refusing to let us show the house until she is gone. There would always be an agent with any perspective renters, but she says she is afraid her belongings would be stolen. We really need to get this property rented as we have a mortgage on this house. Can she insist on this? This would be a hardship on us as it would mean at least one month, if not more, of mortgage payments having to come out of our pocket. Please advise.

Thank you,
William

What does the lease say? Does the lease allow the landlord (or the landlord's agents) access to show the house?

Legally, with a notice, they have to allow you to show it, but, if they refuse all you can do is evict them, and they are leaving anyway

And of course if you are showing and they are cursing you, and threatening, doubt a new renter will want to rent
