Hello and welcome to CAG.

 

You've posted in a forum for questions about this site, which could be why you haven't had any replies.

 

I'll move your thread to the letting forum, where the guys should be able to help you. There will be a short term redirect for you to follow from this forum to the new one.

 

My best, HB

You have a right to 'quiet enjoyment' and they MUST give you adequate notice for a visit to inspect only! usually 24 hours minimum and only if its convenient.

You can quite legally say NO! however as you have said you don't want to upset anybody and I am sure the LL still wants your rent.

So the best option is for the agent/LL to arrange viewings at a convenient time for you, say on one particular day/evening a week.

They should certainly not let themselves in and I would not stand for that!

Change the locks immediately, they could let themselves in when you are not there!

Hello theggirl

 

When you say LL is selling the house with sitting tenants !

 

what was the date you both 1st moved into your current home and is there a tenancy agreement.

 

Do change the locks and you can say No to viewings as advised in post #4.

I moved in 2 this house 18th feb 2011 I had a 1 year agreement and after that was up they said I had a rolling contract, but I didn't sign any thing, my agent has just sent me a 1 year contract 4 me 2 sign so I stay in house till sep 2014 but I have held back from signing this as of all the trouble I have had.

Signing the contract would give you security, even if the house is sold;

If you don't the present or new owner could give you a section 21 notice for repossession, with two months notice, at any time.
