Sell the property without treating the tenant like an obstacle.

Prepare the buyer packet first

1. Complete lease and addendaInclude renewals, amendments, pet terms, notices, and any option or purchase right.
2. Rent and payment recordState actual rent, due date, payment history, concessions, delinquency, and included utilities accurately.
3. Security-deposit recordsHave the property manager, attorney, and closing professional confirm handling and transfer requirements.
4. Maintenance and conditionDocument known repairs, tenant requests, service records, owner responsibilities, and access limits.
5. Showing planUse lawful notice, reasonable windows, tenant communication, security, and a process that does not harass the occupant.

Match the sale path to the buyer pool

Access has rules

Florida Statutes §83.53 addresses a landlord’s access to exhibit a dwelling to prospective or actual purchasers and prohibits abusing access or using it to harass the tenant. Lease terms and the specific situation matter. Mo coordinates the marketing and showing plan; a Florida landlord-tenant attorney should guide notices, termination, possession, eviction, deposit, or disputed-access questions.

A cooperative tenant can protect value

Predictable notice, consolidated showing windows, cleanliness expectations, privacy protection, and one point of contact often produce better access and better presentation. Never promise an incentive, early termination, moving payment, or deposit result until it is documented and legally reviewed.
