Posting a rental sign with old tenants still living on property
Can a landlord post a For Rent sign on the property even if there are tenants still living at property? Tenants already gave 30-day notice to quit to landlord.
Also,can a landlord show the property to new prospective tenants by giving the present tenants a 24 hour notice to show property?
What privacy rights do the present tenants have. We don’t want to do anything illegal.
Thanks

The answer to both questions is “yes.” Just be sure to give the current tenants reasonable notice and preferably show the unit only when they are present, so as to minimize any potential claim of theft, etc.

Check your rental agreement. Generally, they are written to give a landlord the right to show the property to prospective tenants with 24 hours notice, and at reasonable times.
All they really care about is not having the place vacant for too long after you leave.
