I wonder if there is some legal requirement for the person to have it for sale, but they really don't want to sell. I know when a bunch of us were renting a house in Winnipeg our landlord had it for sale. We were told to accommodate realtors who wanted to show the property if we could, but not to put a lot of effort into making the place ready to show.
My favourite showing was a "last minute" showing; buyer's realtor gave us less than an hour's notice. Since we were still in the house the potential buyer asked me if there was anything wrong with the house that I felt I should point out. Yep, I showed him everything.
