Firstly,you have a rental contract for a certain length of time.Only when that date is up do you have to show anyone round to view the premises.I would aproach the landlord with these facts and suggest that you are willing for the agents to show prospective buyers around the property in office hours (when you are at work) but not in your leisure time.If he wants you to use your leisure time,then he must recompense you financially for the inconvenience.Good luck |

If it's not excessive, then I would say probably nothing.
A 24 hour notice is a reasonable expectation, and while you are at it, mention nicely that you would be willing to keep your place spotless (you may already be a neat freak :) ) for a little discount on the rent :)
As a landlord...I would soooooooooooo be taking someone up on that. |

You will need to check your state statutes to see if there are any which would prevent these showings. Generally, however, you are required to allow access at reasonable times when an owner desires to sell the property.
In my state, only twelve hours notice is required for entry. Other states have 24 hour notice requirements and only allow showings during the last thirty days of your tenancy agreement.
While decent landlords try to group these showings for least inconvenience to the tenant, not all do. If the statute allows showings with 24 hours notice, you are required to allow entry.
Sad to say, the first poster is a bit naive relative to these requirements. Be guided by your state statutes, and ask your landlord if he would kindly group the showings at one time each weekend. |

You can ask that he either call you ahead of time before anyone shows up or set certain times with you that you can set aside just for the showings.
Tell him you understand he wants to sell the property but invasion of privacy is what is happening and that you would appreciate a compromise if possible. |

Your landlord must give you 24 hours notice to enter the property for routine repairs or to show it to prospective buyers. This is also generally limited to regular business hours, i.e. about 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on weekdays. You don't have to allow anyone in at the week end unless you chose to. |

Your land lord has to get your agreement to show the property.
If he wants to show then a lower rent may be arranged,or other
perk. |

All I can suggest is that when you next rent somewhere you check first to see if the landlord will be selling the property. My parents are renting currently and they said it's a complete pain in the ****. Are you not in a position to buy at the moment then? |

Move out, as quickly as possible. It won't be long before you have to go anyway. |

With in reason you have to be told by your landlord that the property is going to be sold. Like with a regular sale they can not just come over with out notice..
Other then that there really is nothing you can do.. Your landlord wants to sell his property and you just happen to be living in it.
Sorry. |

Firstly your landlord has a reasonable right of access to inspect the property and to make any repairs, nothing else. So the question is how much are you relying on a reference from him.
You need to be firm and polite. Tell him its not fair for him to be bringing round people at his convience. If you wish you can give him some times on your conditions when buyers can visit. That would be reasonable, and thank him for any concessions he makes.
I would recommend seeing him in person and preferably with an escort. Numbers always give an impression of strength.
If you are too timid then you could ask the Citizen Advice Bureau to have a polite word. Its not the best approach but
it will get the message accross. |

I totally sypmathize with you. A very hard situation to be in. Am not sure he can insist that the house be open for viewing whilst you are still a tenant. Your conract is that you rent the house for a certain length of thime. He has given you warning that the house is giong to be sold but shouldnt be viewing the house if you aren't happy with the viewing being in your leisure time. Speak to him but first contact your local advice bureau to find out if you can stop the viewings whilst you are renting the property.
I honestly do think he has to wait til your conract is up to set up viewings. I know I wouldnt put up with it. Esp if you are having to look for another rental accommodation you can't stay in for his viewings.
a cpl of links that might help
Good luck |

You do not have to let them in. If the prospective buyer is with the Land Lord---you do not have to let him in. You do not have to answer the door. He cannot let ppl come thru like cows in a barn.. You do not have to keep[ the place in inspecton ready for buyers. You live there-if your a pig than your a pig---OK. That is your property till the lease runs out. Then move out... Make sure you give the land owner 30 daysor more notice and keep the letter for a small claims law suit if he does not refund the damaage deposit and first and last months rent. Yes, even when the contract is over still have to give LL notice that you are vacating---OK |
