I'm staying in a long-let airbnb while completing on new home.
It's a home share, separate bedrooms and shared bathroom and kitchen.
There are photos of all rooms online (relevant).
I got home last night from a run and the letting agent was showing some people around. She had given notice, that's all fine, a few people peeked in my room whilst I was in and out, taking off trainers and making supper.
One guy took his phone filming a panorama video of my room. Right in front of me. I was so surprised that I blurted out, 'No, this is my bedroom, please don't.'
To be fair to him he stopped immediately, just saying 'no? OK.'
But the letting agent and other people looked shocked.
No one said anything else and I went off to the kitchen.
No trying to cause a bun fight, but am I now old and out of touch? (48) Whatever happened to at least a cursory request for permission? Is there just a rebuttable presumption that EVERYTHING is okay to photograph now?
To be clear, the bed was made but there were clothes and work papers and other personal things around. If he'd asked I'd have said okay, maybe just cleared away my pyjamas and the work-related stuff.
