I would look into the specific tennant laws where you live and also your lease.
Me personally, I would not allow showings while I am living there. Seriously, fuck the landlord. He can have me move out first, then he can show it. Greedy sob should be able to fade a few months of vaccancy, and if not, its not my problem.
So that means, if my landlord wanted to sell, I'd ask for financial concessions and I'd ask to be released from my lease early. If that failed, I'd make damn certain his REA would not WANT to do showings at my place. I'd dress up in my skivies and nothing else, make sure I was plenty liquored up in time for the potential buyers, and generally I'd be a completely obscene slob. Hell, I'd probably crank up the heat as high as possible, down a bunch of onion rings, and fart up the place to kingdom come.
One problem with that is that Mom is the owner of the house and needs the money to afford the assisted living facility she is in.
Wisconsin government websites are nearly impossible to get through to find answers to questions. GO PACK GO!
Can't speak for WI, but most states require a 24 hour notice to under without you home. That, or you need to give them on-the-spot permission.
I currently rent a house that is for sale. Yesterday,(8/23)there were two showings. The first showing was between 11 and 12, and when I got home I knew the agent or buyers had looked in the medicine cabinet that I use. I called the realty company and told them this was unacceptable and they agreed. The second showing was between 5 and 6, and when I got home and went into the bedroom I use, I could definetly tell that some of my personal property had been moved to possibly access the attic door. I was present when the listing agent made his first visit to the home, and specifically asked if they would need access to the attic. He told me "no and not to worry about it". What are my rights to privacy as a tenant in a for sale property?
