Can I terminate my tenant's tenancy early for having an unauthorised pet?

I doubt anyone can think of a law that would prevent you inspecting a "shared area":cool:.

In your position - I'd slap on a confident face and just do so - complete with notebook and camera in hand #sighs

Re the "dinner and wine" from a total stranger - I can see how that could have happened BUT that is a scenario I can only recall way back in my 20s and I fell for it back then. It dawned on me quite quickly there was a reason for it - in that case it was the hope of attracting me into joining an ultra-left political party....but I don't think it was for the pleasure of my company...

I wouldn't be surprised if it were in some way forbidden, it seems that we have to tread on eggshells about everything else as owners, and don't get me started on the useless contract!

Even when it does dawn that there is an ulterior motive, it is hard to extract yourself from the situation... you must be much more hard-headed and professional than I am. If they had asked me to sign up with Socialists for Animal Liberation after three glasses of wine I probably would have!

It would have seemed a complete waste to come down only for the inspection so I have at least made a small break out of it. I will be returning on Friday, but before I do, I will try to be less of a "turkey" and make the inspection that I had planned of the shared areas, unless this is yet another thing I have no right to do.

What shared areas? If they rent the whole flat then there aren't any or do you mean the grounds of the estate.

There is an enclosed, ornamental rear garden and orangery at the back wall of the house which this flat shares access to with the other ground floor flat.

You can't go wandering around the gardens without permission, you don't live there.

I bet they're growing weed in the orangery

And I did not say I was going to take photographs, I am just intrigued as to what possible explanation there could be for this being a no-no. The adjacent flat which with access is shared is still owned by family members by the way, which I think makes a big difference!
