Can they put a "For Lease" sign out from while we still are tenants?

Hi guys,
Sorry probably a stupid question. We are still renting for like 2 weeks until we move into our place and I just noticed today that the real estate agents put a sign out the front advertising it is for lease. It just makes me feel a bit uneasy, I guess it shouldnt. But should they have asked first to do this, and if so any references to a source would be great.
Thanks and happy investing
J.

have a look at your lease. Generally, if you have given notice, are within the last 30/60 days of your lease etc the owner has the right to relet the premises. They do not need your consent.

Depends on your state and lease etc. but yes, generally they can do this as they have a right to re-lease their property as quickly as possible once you have moved out. I am surprised with only 2 weeks to go your agent hasn't contacted you about having an open for inspection yet .

Sometimes these signs fall off in windy weather, and land in between shrubs.
