I live in a block of four housing association flats. Yesterday three people I didn't know were in the shared back garden, chatting to each other. After about 10 minutes I went out and said hi, err who are you? One of them (Doreen) said she had just been offered the tenancy of the flat next door and the other two where her friends who live locally. Doreen said she didn't know when she'd be moving in as current tenant hasn't moved out yet. So we had a short, friendly chat and eventually they left.
Today Doreen's friend knocked on my door and asked if Doreen could come and have a look around my flat, to get an idea of the layout and size (it will be mirror image of her flat).
I said perhaps they could talk to the HA about a viewing or she could ask current tenant to let her look around - but they don't want to do that because they don't know her. They don't know me either!
AIBU to say not let her look around my flat? I get on well with all my neighbours but really value my privacy and only invite friends inside. Am I being too uptight and unhelpful? I've thought about drawing her a nice diagram, with room measurements, but suspect that's a bit ridiculous of me.
