Landlord Inspections
Comments

The LL's rights in this case are clear - they are specified in the tenancy agreement, and he is abiding by the requirement (24 hours written notice).
Quiet Enjoyment is not being infringed - it is a perfectly reasonable request. If he were doing inspections like this every week, then yes, quiet enjoyment would be being infringed.
In this case, the LL also has a clear duty to permit the council access, and even if the council do not require access to your specific room, it is sensible to combine the inspections (ie council's and LL's) into a single (and thus less disruptive) visit.
The compromise to try to reach is an inspection on a day you can be available (ie not an evening /weekend inspection).
Clearly this will invlve liason with not just the LL, but also the council.0
