Viewings of my rented property

er..... if its for viewings you have to allow people in.
It is for viewings. I am happy for viewings to take place but only if i am there. I have a dog which they know about and approved, and i am concerned about her being there. I raised this with the agents and they say i should shut her in the kitchen.
I am unsure where i legally stand.:j rolo-polo1965 :j0 -
you can't decline entry if they put it in writing.
its part of my contract that i have to allow people around for viewings.
yes you can decline entry if it is not convenient for you.
they are not allowed to just tell you they are coming round they must have your agreement to do soNonny mouse and Proud!!
Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience!!

with consent from the tenant IF the tenant chooses.
OR when the property is empty, and the letting agent has the keys and can enter without disturbing anyones right to peaceful occupation.:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.

Not only this, but they should give 24 hours notice of when they want to attend in writing ( emails are fine) That said you can stil l.refuse if you dont want to, regardless of the 24 hour rule.
You can refuse on the basis not enough notice has been given.
If you feel uhappy about this I personally would change the locks. ( keep the old ones and refit once you leave()
I know that some EAs have done open house type events when members ofthe general public roam around and of course there have been thefts.
I personally would never allow it again.:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.

See the post above for links to start with. It is interesting that there about two hundred official bodies who can demand entrance to your home but the generally this does not apply to the landlord. It looks very much as if the landlord has no right to demand viewings during the last month or so even if this is specified in the contract.Can anyone point me in the direction of online evidence?
However, it would be churlish of an outgoing tenant not to permit viewings at a reasonable and convenient time, as the prime person to be affected is a potential incoming tenant who is looking for somewhere to live and wishes to plan his life accordingly."If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools"

However, if you want to play hard ball with the agent expect a crumby reference from them....
It's a brave person in that gives a "crumby reference" as they then face the risk of being sued.RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.
