What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
Someone at work told me today (after hearing about our current LL issues) that if we interfere at all with the showings/open houses we can be sued for damages for the house not selling. I did a google search on this and I can't find anything. My co-worker said if we did anything like not open the door for a showing (with or without proper notice), intentionally keeping the place messy or making it smelly (even with scented candles since some potential buyers could have allergies so this can be seen as making it uncomfortable for them), packing and putting boxes in a way to make it hard to walk around and look at the place, or even sitting on the couch barely dressed or picking our noses we could be in trouble.
Does anyone know if this is true??
