- actually this is one of the few places are photographs should be restricted (for the reasons set out above) statistically there's atleast one child on a safeguarding list in a class.


Typically the school gets parents to take photographs after the performance when the child cannot be seen. Mostly the reason for this is to protect them from actual harm. - having done photography and filming at various schools, it's surprising how often this is sadly the case.

and in a lot of schools in my area now it is restricted...its a sign of the times...

I think perhaps I picked a bad example but wanted to highlight the difference between parental/grandparental pride at a performance and what the OP clearly thinks is intrusion.
They are obviously proud of their child's achievements to display the information on the wall ...I just wonder if they would have removed the certificates prior to new viewings or actually it's only become am issue when the photos have been put on RM or wherever they were advertised.
In my experience you proudly display things you want visitors to your house to comment on.....else you would keep them in a drawer away from prying eyes.

and then of course...Grandma then enters a public forum read by an unrestricted number of people to discuss it.......

It puts a whole new spin on photos on RM though...I mean how many house for sale do you see with clearly visable photos of the family that live there...quite a few.

although as a LL I have to say I much prefer my marketing photos to show blank rooms,it's always worked far better for me than pictures with tenants furnishings.

ask about that line in your agreement we would tell you that it is unenforceable and you can change the lock, as long as you return the property in its original state (i.e. with the original locks).

Agree with the above but bear in mind you could be held liable for any damage/costs caused by the LL for gaining entry into the property in a emergency because locks have been changed, also you may well get a section 21 issued.

How would/could the LL know if there was a gas or water leak?

Oh! Yes - I guess the tenants called and told him. So the LL needs a key because.......

I suppose the people downstairs might have contacted the LL, though tbh if I were the downstairs neighbour being flooded I'd already have made my own door-opening arrangements...
