Bollards. You can write what you want in a lease but it may not be legal. "Quiet enjoyment" is enshrined in law, nothing you can write in a lease can change it.Undertaking viewings does not come under the clauses of quiet enjoyment if the lease does not put these under the same clauses.A house isn't a home without a cat.
Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.

thx liz. now ive the problem of finding somewhere in 2 weeks! so stressed, took the day off work today to try find somewhere and the craap thats to rent is shockable. its every property that wont sell on the market up for rent and i am shocked at the conditions, looks like ive a tough few weeks comming upGlad to hear it, Robwend! I hope you're able to find a more suitable long-term home for your family; as has been stated most places will offer a 6 month AST at first, but it's important to be clear with the agent/landlord about your need for a long-term let. Also, don't forget to check out the new info about tenancy deposits; if you're paying a deposit you need to be informed about which of the schemes it will be held in (and it must be protected): http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TenancyDeposit/DG_066373You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on0 -

The time to disagree with a contract is BEFORE it is signed. I doubt a few viewings negate 'quiet enjoyment'.
Of course, once in the house the tenant can disregard the agreement and refuse viewings. Equally, the LL can hinder return of the deposit and may choose not to give a positive reference.
