Too many inspections?

Quite obviously the discussion is about what the tenant, or landlord, has a right to do. Otherwise it is a waste of time.



No, that's exactly what it means. This does not interfere with quiet enjoyment.

Indeed, it's disposing of the body that's the tricky part.

A tenancy agreement can say that a landlord is allowed access for inspections. However, if that landlord then tries to carry out inspections monthly or weekly then that absolutely interferes with the tenant's right to quiet enjoyment. In fact it could be classed as harassment.

Again, no-one argues otherwise. The landlord must act reasonably.
But your claims regarding right of access, etc. are general and therefore incorrect.

Equally your responses are general.


You say, (to paraphrase) "if it's in the agreement the LL can do it."


But in this case (this thread, but many real life situations) you agree it would not be applicable.

Thanks for the replies.

He says the inspections are to keep on top of issues that if left would turn into something big. As I said, he mentions checking the cleanliness of fridge and oven and cupboards and that the bathroom is free of hard water marks. I believe he expects the tenant to keep the place always spotless.

He will supposedly inspect next month as well in the same week. If I have problems I'll let him know and if I get anything that filthy then what can he actually do? Can he get rid of me because the fridge isn't clean to his standards? I am aware he might not want to renew after the year but then I don't intend to stay past a year honestly.

By the way I paid 6 months in advance and will pay the next 6 months in advance too in February because I work part time and wouldn't have passed affordability checks otherwise. Estate agent said he will gladly give me back the money if I want to leave as he can let the place easily so could replace me immediately if I wanted to leave earlier than a year.

Yes, the tenancy agreement mentions asking permission about changing locks and providing copies to the landlord.

If he wants to keep on top of maintenance and repairs there's actually no need for him to be looking inside the fridge or oven. If he's going to do it and you're going to let him get yourself down the joke shop and buy one of those fake dog turds. Place it inside your fridge before the inspection.

No he can't evict for that reason.
Are your payments monthly or 6 monthly? ( there's a difference even if paying upfront - is the rent charged on a per month basis)

Don't worry you don't need permission nor do you need to give a key.
