Goodness me, you could cut the atmosphere with a knife in here.
Arguments about property abuse are resolved easily by installing covert CCTV before letting. You can keep an eye on naughty tenants then without harassing them by knocking on their doors.
I always put one camera in a teddy in the main bedroom and one in the bathroom disguised as a loofah. Just the other day my loofah-cam was used inappropriately and I remember thinking out loud, "bang goes your deposit madam".Mornië utulië0 -

Id reiterate this point, legitimately, from a tenants point of view. install CCTV to protect your property.0 -

Sounds like half-measures to me. I'd suggest land mines and a moat filled with sharks with frikkin' laser beams.Let's settle this like gentlemen: armed with heavy sticks
On a rotating plate, with spikes like Flash Gordon

If you hook up the CCTV to your own pay-per-view 'amateur' website that also creates a second stream of passive income for you.0 -
Crown Prosecution Service and Harassment,
Harassment
In this legal guidance, the term harassment is used to cover the 'causing alarm or distress' offences under section 2 of the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 as amended (PHA), and 'putting people in fear of violence' offences under section 4 of the PHA. The term can also include harassment by two or more defendants against an individual or harassment against more than one victim.
Although harassment is not specifically defined in section 7(2) of the PHA, it can include repeated attempts to impose unwanted communications and contact upon a victim in a manner that could be expected to cause distress or fear in any reasonable person.
For me the OP has not contravened that in any way shape or form. I'd also say that as a tenant it wouldn't bother me in the slightest if my LL knocked on my door once in a blue moon without notice any more than anyone else knocking the door.It's someone else's fault.0 -

I use the 'knickers-drawer' cam for that. Damn, I'm giving too much away ....:oMornië utulië0 -
I wonder if it would constitute harassment if I was to use one of those remote camera drones (£199 fro Maplin) to fly over the property weekly and film through the windows. Obviously I would not look through the bathroom window as that could be considered invasion of privacy....
I fully accept that if it crashed in the back garden, I would have to give 24 hours notice to collect it.....20 plus years as a mortgage adviser for Halifax (have now retired), and I have pretty much seen it all....:D0 -
