To be there for the viewings?

My landlord is selling the house we live in, and the estate agent is doing about 10 viewings tomorrow afternoon.

AIBU to be present for the viewings? The LL is totally fine with it, but the estate agent seems quite put out.

My reasonings are that, whilst it might be a property to sell to the estate agent, it’s also our home, and filled with our possessions, and I’d rather be in the house to keep an eye on things. Also, why should I inconvenience myself by making myself scarce for several hours? I’ve got a stack of exercise books to mark as it’s half term week (secondary teacher), and I don’t much relish the thought of dragging all those books out and about with me whilst I try to find an appropriate place to work.

If it were an ordinary day without these viewings, that’s what I would be doing, so should I just be able to carry on as normal?

For all those saying she is unreasonable. No she is not. Actually as she is renting she can say she is not allowing anyone in.

Personally it would not brother me if the householder/renter is there and to be fair booking 10 viewings in one go is not fair on her either

@VodkaSlimline

I see the usual MN jealousy and vitriol towards landlords is alive and well on this thread.
Plenty of us pointing out bad landlord behaviour were/are landlords ourselves so no, not jealousy.
