Firstly you didn't complain about him entering the property properly so it's your word against his, this means you have no evidence.

Secondly if you don't give notice you won't get your deposit back or be able to fight to get your deposit back and the agent could credit blacklist you.

Thanks for your reply.

I have complained to the Estate Agent on several occasions and they've kept a note of the times that I've made them aware. Once I mentioned it during a routine monthly inspection, and other times once the landlords had walked in and left. The agent called him up to let him know that this was inappropriate and that we, the tenants, have reminded him to call before he comes over. So there is record of it happening.

Also, as far as I've read, the landlords behaviour is classed as harassment - just being curious here, but wouldn't that mean that we can terminate any agreement because of his behaviour?

I posted on this forum, as I had no idea about my rights, and requirements regarding notice etc, so I just want to thank everyone for all their help I've learned alot in the past few hours!

Also, we're planning not to mention or be aggresive about anything, rather we're going to appeal to his better nature and remind him that the quicker we're out he can just get someone else in and charge the higher rent one month earlier. I.e. to surrender the agreement.

Re: the rent increase. When we first moved in, we negotiated on the rent (which was quite high) and he kindly agreed to find a middle figure. The rent that we've been paying for two years is still the going rate (infact still a little higher than average for the area and size of the house). Having read alot about rent increases and about our area, the price he's requesting is quite high, and I'd be surprised if he got that from the next tenants.

But anyway, we're not the fighting type so we're going to talk this out and see where it gets us.

Thanks once again!

p.s anymore advice is still welcome
