Private landlord (no agency), SE England. LL owns the building (6 flats in it) and lives v nearby.
He doesn’t do regular inspections but it does feel like he’s here very regularly. If there’s an issue with the flat and a tradesman attends to assess the issue, my LL will then follow up to take photos of whatever it is that needs doing. He will usually also turn up with the tradesman, even if I’m in. I’m waiting in at the moment and this will be the second time he’s been here this month. He will usually take photos of parts that need replacing so he can source them for less than the tradesman has quoted (this was also why part of my flat was out of bounds for about 20 weeks but that’s another story)
Constant emails to the entire building about the bins/ recycling.
On one hand I’m grateful that he’s diligent and sorts stuff but on the other hand, I feel like I’m in an Air BNB with the constant emails, visits, reminders etc.
or is this entirely normal? I’ve rented my entire adult life but haven’t seen much consistency in practice with LLs.
