We told them we weren't free til 21st April and they just said it has to be this week...which is completely unfair but I'd rather not start getting on the wrong side of them again.
We've moved 3-4 times in the last 3 years and really don't want to move again!
Hopefully they'll be more specific about these 'viewings' on the phone...

For heaven's sake. STOP phoning them.

You need to keep a proper paper trail here as your Agents are plainly unable to act in a professional and legal manner.

This is haressment. Send your LL an e-mail telling him

1. No more viewing unless be prior written arrangment (they ask you when it is convenient).
2. By law the has no right to expect you to let viewers in during the trenancy at all.
3. The blackmail from his agents constitutes haressment.

You appreciate that he is trying to sell the house but that he has no right to expect rental income and to market the property simultaneously.

The confirm it in writing to both the LL and the agent.
