Karen E | Came home to find estate agent showing new tenants around my apartment?? |
I went out this lunchtime and came home to find the estate agent showing new tenants around the apartment i am renting, i check my mail box every day and have had no notice of this, are they allowed to do this, what are my rights?? |

they are not allowed to just enter the flat with out the permission of the person living there. you pay rent for your privacy which has been invaded, i would have a strong word with the landlord and estate agent and in future demand all viewings are by appointment only.
you have rights, so dont be scared to enforce them. the estate agent could be letting anyone in and if you are not there you cant keep an eye on what people are up to. |

Usually there is a clause for this in your lease agreement. Essentially the clause states that if your lease term is coming to an end they have the right to show the apartment to potential tenants. |

Is your tenancy contract about to come to an end, if so, and they are NOT going to offer you a renewal, then yes, they ahve every right and it will be in the terms of the contract you have. If you don't have a contract, then they can throw you out at anytime. |

Firstly, if your rent is up to date you are entitled to quiet possession
Second, other people in your home without permission is trespass.
Third, How the hell did they get in?
Fourth, see a lawyer. |

You will find the answer in your lease. It probably does give them that right, assuming you are moving in the near future. If it doesn't say that they can show it when you've given notice, then it would probably be a violation of the covenant of Quiet Enjoyment. |

I would have thought you would have to be given notice first, complain, check you're rent agreement, |

I don't know where you are from so I can't be exact. But in general, you are entitled to be told in advance that the agent wishes to do this and the agent must do it both with your permission and knowledge as well as making the time to do so at your convenience. |
|

no they are definately not allowed to do this at all.
they must give you notice.
that should be written in your lease, agreement somewhere.
check your rental agreement first.
your rights are you are the tenant, they cannot come in without letting you know. has to be a reasonable amount of time.
the estate agent cannot let themselves in. it's illegal.
must give reasonable notice, or be invited by you.
Landlord and Tenant Act 1985
talk to your local
citizen's advice bureau first. |

Unless you signed an agreement to allow this despicable behaviour I would object in the strongest terms. If you do not receive satisfaction report them to their trade body. I would also complain to the landlord Check to see if there are any items missing and if so report the matter to the police |

Not without notification or your permission. I`d complain. |

No they have to ask you to check if its okay also them have to inform you if you have a viewing. their attitude is you want your house sold don't you! |

Don't think so. Try the citizens advice bureau, they give free legal advice. |

Do they not need to give you 24 hours notice if they even want to enter the property? |
|
De
|
agents do have the right to enter but they are supposed to warn you first... If you plan on moving soon they may be looking for a replacement... I know that landlords can come in at any notice to make sure you are not wrecking the place... Also it may not be new tenants but owners.... |

Check your tenancy agreeement. It is usually a 24 hour notice period (in writing unless you agree to something else, such as a telephone call). This is highly irregular and very unprofessional and you should be complaining at the top. Has your landlord not been in touch with you - contact him/her and tell them that this is unacceptable. |

You are entitled to reasonable notice, can be as little as a few hours. It is classed as unlawful entry you should raise this with your estate agent, landlord, go to CAB or a free half hour with a solicitor. Check nothing is missing too. What if you had ben getting out the shower etc...
Please follow this up it is a disgrace, contracts broken by a least 1 party.... |

They have to give you 24 hours notice.. or they are not allowed to show without notice and permission... you can call the police... or get a lawyer to write them a letter..
Meanwhile change the locks in your apartment... You have a right because your rights have been violated,,
I used to live in the US and used to rent and those agents do that do that all the time...
I changed the locks.. |

They are trespassing and you should seek compensation for invasion of privacy, additionally are you quite certain none of your valuable property has been removed whilst you were absent? I would inform local Police of this occurrence immediately. |
