Can my landlord show the house I'm renting?
Find answers to your legal question.

My lease states that my landlord has the right to show the house to "tenants" but did not say "buyer". I interpret that as showing the house to renters if I'm not going to renew the lease, but not showing the house to sell. Am I right? Can I legally stop him from showing the house?

To the first two answers: I was going to renew my lease if he wasn't going to sell the house. My concern is that what if something is stolen from my house while they are showing the house? I would rather be there when they show it, but the realtor insist that I should not be there. That is why I'm looking to stop them from showing all together.

Yes, he can show the house.

No you are not right.

Check your lease very carefully; your interpretation is not the "legal" meaning.

if you arent renewing the lease, what does it matter?

what is to stop the landlord from saying that the people checking the house out may be potential tenants, then they just turn around and buy it.

I think it would take a lot of effort to keep the landlord out of your house with something like that in your lease.
