Fucking landlord just told me that they're going to be showing my apartment tomorrow. I'm probably going to be sticking around to make sure these "future tenants" don't swipe anything of mine while they're here.
Is it common for landlords to show occupied apartments off?

I don't have anything to contribute to your thread anon.
I'm just astonished that I'm seeing someone use the exact image that I capped awhile ago.
Here's another you may find useful.

Of course it is. Do you actually expect landlords to wait until the previous tenant has moved out before trying to find a new tenant?

Very common. I used to live in a one-bedroom and because mine was also the model, AND my lease was up in a couple months and I wasn't going to renew, it's apart of your renter's agreement to allow your landlords to show your home.
Not a big deal, really. I thought it was kind of neat. Sometimes, I stuck around, sometimes, I just went off for a 10-minute walk. Never had a problem with thievery. Usually, when it's an occupied unit, the landlords won't leave potential renters alone with your stuff. Empty apartment, sure, but not when it's got someone living in it.
There are also regulations that prevent them surprise showing, inspection.
In Australia anyway

In my experience, it's unusual for a large complex because they usually have a model set aside to show people.
But it's expected and common for more unique dwellings - small apartment buildings, houses, duplexes, etc. I saw some pretty gross tenants when apartment hunting in a poor part of town. It's an awkward experience for everyone involved.
