Is a Landlord Required by Law to Hold a Key?
Comments

A covenant is implied, courtesy of the LL&T Act 1985 S11(6), that the LL shall be able to view the condition & state of repair at the premises after giving notice, but if a T refuses then the LL would need to obtain a court order unless (as you mention) it could be shown to be a genuine emergency, ie something about to endanger life or limb. However, few LLs would run the risk of an action for tenant harassment but any T who plays games over access for repairs cannot later complain that the LL has failed to meet his/her "repairing obligations" and can probably expect a prompt action for repossession of the property at the first available opportunity.......many would also argue that a LL has a right of entry for repairs - i am not sure of that one0
