Dear Landlord:

We're buying a house. We gave you the appropriate notice. We're doing our darnedest to be good tenants and help you rent the place. I even sent an email out to the neighborhood list on your behalf. Could you please be a little considerate?

Monday we stopped packing, cleaned up the packing mess and cleaned the house for you to not show it with 2 hours' notice. We did the same on Wednesday. Today, you showed up 10 minutes past the scheduled showing (which you apparently cancelled by telling an elderly person the house wasn't suitable for her - google Fair Housing Act, please) to take photos. I had spent over an hour cleaning, locked up my cats, and been cooling my heels (missing a glorious riding day). We (politely) asked that you not post photos (including some with our bikes) to Craigs. Apparently you are anyway. Before we move.

We will no longer be cleaning up the house for you or accommodating your showings any more than absolutely required. We will also not be leaving on the power "for your convenience until you re-rent it so you can work on it."
