It is likely they are planning to rent skim (i.e. pocket your rent while they stop making payments) to get some cash out of their failed investment. That is why they dont want to let you out of the lease early. Personally I would cooperate but on my terms. No lockbox, appointment only with 24 hours notice and weekend showings only (It’s dark after 5 now and there wont be much traffic anyway). If they want to do day long open houses they should compensate you for that. Tickets to Disneyland, Legoland, Zoo and Sea World should do nicely for 4 Saturdays. If that doesnt meet your age range perhaps Charger Tickets or something else.
