Lettings agent harassment

You have to comply with the terms of your tenancy agreement.
This probably requires you to permit viewings at reasonable times on 24 hours notice. If you refuse to permit all viewings, you could potentially be held liable for any increased void periods that result.
You should get back to the letting agent to tell them when they can and cannot conduct viewings. Then the letting agent can work around that when arranging the viewing. For example 10am-2pm on weekdays or 3pm-5pm on Saturdays.0 -
The problem with this is that the judge would also order you to pay the landlord's legal costs in going to court, and any resulting damages suffered by the landlord.If a judge ordered access for viewing, I would of course comply.
Since you would have breached the term in your tenancy agreement which requires you to permit viewings.0 -

I know I’m being difficult but it’s literally the only way I can get back at the landlord for the weeks he takes to reply to any repair requests, the end of life boiler which breaks down 6 times a year and his insistence on using a letting agent who is even more incompetent and lazy than him. As is evidenced by their last minute scramble to get a tenant.
I wouldn’t do it to a decent landlord.0 -

Both? I have zero motivation to accommodate his requests given his behaviour as a landlord.0

So you're just being petty then. Good for you.I know I’m being difficult but it’s literally the only way I can get back at the landlord for the weeks he takes to reply to any repair requests, the end of life boiler which breaks down 6 times a year and his insistence on using a letting agent who is even more incompetent and lazy than him.
