    What?
    Neither a land lord nor a renter, but, if I was a renter, and told my LL about some mould I wanted him to look at, isnt permission to enter kind of implied?

    In short, no. If you asked a plumber to come round and give you a quote would you be happy if he just walked into your house?

    This is the tenants home and the LL can only enter without notice in an absolute emergency

    ... I know what landlords are like it's probably something to do with him getting a grant or something, he'll be making money out of it somehow, but we sure put a stop to that.
    Are you still paying him rent? Because he'll be making money out of that until you stop paying.

    That's what he said, yeah right, so he's going out of his way to help us, I know what landlords are like it's probably something to do with him getting a grant or something, he'll be making money out of it somehow, but we sure put a stop to that.

    We said he could do it if he let us live rent free for one month, guess what? Yep! sure enough he didn't want to know about it then!

    Genuine lol to this. Yes you sure sorted him out. That'll be the last time he tries to knock 25% off your heating bills.

    You need to assert yourself, our landlord kept hassling us to get access to insulate the loft. We said no way, he now has had to back down and has agreed he will not do it until we eventually move out.

    The only thing i can think of is if someone is growing something up there and don't want the LL finding out.
    Why else would you not want to save money on your bills when it is not going to cost you a penny?
    What about your carbon footprint does that not bother you if saving money does not?

    Not just growing it but using it fairly extensively as well given the thought processes (or lack of) involved!!
