NO NOT MUCH as long as you dont have a lease, he can evict you with 30 days notice if you are really bad about this.

So just dont clean the house leave dirty underwear and clothes all over then maybe he will get the hint to call you the day before so it can be cleaned up for showing.

Or turn up the stereo while they are there....tell them "oh i gotta hear my favorite song"...

Or cook a lot of fish, or use tons of GARLIC on some pasta and start reheating it when they come over unnanounced..... anything to make it unapealling to prospective buyers.
