I have lived through hell In my last two months of tenancy. Foxtons obliged me to allow viewings which would go up to 6 times a day having stated that they are a busy state agent. This can't be right if you stay at home and not working, or working from home, you want peace. Although landlords are entitled to find new tenants, I believe that there is a gap for mutal respect when it comes to a busy state agency that don't respect tenant's rights. So the rules must be clearer. When I refused one day, the next day I would have as much as 8 state agents showing the property around. They sent me an email stating that they only needed to give me 24 hours notice and viewing would take place regardless of my acceptance. I was caught twice in my bath robe where they entered the property regardless of my wishes when I stated time was not convenient, they showed up anyway. This could change as making illegal to run a business like this as making someone's life so disturbing, more like a nuisance. 1- suggestion: allowing reasonable viewing once a week or once a day only and 1 appointment a day. Bargaining power issue: tenants are likely to sign a contract allowing viewing not knowing what they will live through on the last months of tenancy.
