In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour.

Now, since I forced him to pay the deposit, and especially since I said I was leaving, I have been bombarded with emails and phone calls from him (and some from the LA) threatening to enter without me being here, demanding entry for the LA to view the property (which I allowed on Wednesday, but I am now having more demands), threatening to hold me accountable for lost rental, because I have not got the house back to "check-out condition" in time for him to do viewings.
It is complete harassment in my opinion, and I am at the end of my tether worrying about it.
It is definitely harassment.
You are entitled to quiet enjoyment, which means that whatever the contract says, you can refuse all entry if you are so minded. Often it is advised to negotiate a couple of convenient times for entry, but that is up to you. Further advice is to change the barrels of the locks and then change them back at the end of the tenancy.
Look at post #7 in this thread:

These are both powerful pieces of legislation and make it a criminal offence for the LL to harass you in the ways described. The police don't understand the law very well but if the LL does try to force entry you are within your rights to call the police.
Good luck.0
