    I am a small landlord and personally I do not mind as I accept the property is that persons home for the duration of the tenancy and am glad to see them taking responsibility. All I would ask is that they let me know so that I can keep records up to date ready for any future tenant. However, I would suggest that you check your agreement or with the letting agent just in case it is not appropriate in your case. Hope this helps.
