Closing account with lettings agent: unreasonable documents request

I'd write back to them and be very stern and aggressive.

Lines along "This is my property and I will not entertain empty threats"

"This will be my last correspondence with you"

Leave it there, get on with your life I guess.

Dangle a carrot. Say you were thinking of letting it out again in the next six months but the way they’re behaving makes it very unlikely you would consider using them

Putting anything in writing about re-letting could give them the ammunition they need! One has to be very careful what one says if there is ever a possibility, however remote, of a matter going to court.

So, again - ignore!

Well if I don’t let them in, they threatened to go to court which is strangely aggressive!! And those specifics are not written anywhere in the terms! 

And the checkout is kinda meaningless now because I didnt do one when tenants left and now I’m kind of storing things there and using the flat sometimes during the week. So not empty anymore. 

People that get defensive more often or not have something to hide. Not as if they haven't experienced similar situations many times before.
