To be livid that letting agent made unannounced inspection and took photos of our bedrooms!

Surely this isn't legal?

They have said the inspection dates wee on the lease but we haven't checked that yet.

The flat was in the normal state you'd expect on a school day where we've all rushed out in the morning eg beds unmade, 2 towels lying over toilet/bath, clutter in surfaces. No damage to any fixtures or fittings. They even took a close up of a hair band on the floor!!

I feel like my privacy has been intruded- this can't be legal, can it?

At the last inspection we gave ten a list of repairs needed but this was ignored.

I'm guessing this is now the landlord trying to force us out (lease up in 4 months)

I didn't expect this place to be particularly well maintained tbh. It was a good bit cheaper than other properties in the area and when we viewed it there were things that needed fixed before we even moved in.

Hope fully the silver lining could be if the problems are enough to get a few more points on the housing waiting list.

I'm in Essex and the LA I use are brilliant, the best I've come across in my 20 years as a landlord.
