To say no to any more viewings?

I live in a rented house with my partner and new baby (four months old). We've bought a house and are renovating it; will be moving into it in two weeks time.

We gave the letting agency plenty of notice and arranged with them a day for them to do viewings. We left the house tidy and clean for them to take people round, and they had about seven people booked in.

They've increased the rent by £100 which I think is worth noting -- it's a tiny two bedroom house which definitely isn't ideal for a family. It's clear to see when you come in as we've got too much stuff crammed in.

Nobody signed up after that round, so we gave them access twice more. It's a huge inconvenience each time as I'm on mat leave and my husband wfh, and also it's hard enough keeping the place clean without having the pressure of viewings.

Nobody showed up to view the last two times they were booked in, so it was a wasted effort on cleaning and tidying all my son's baby stuff away.

AIBU to tell them we've had enough and they will have to arrange viewings after we've left?

What does your tenancy agreement say OP? Many will include a clause about access for viewings.

Which isn’t enforceable.

YANBU
Your landlord can wait for his property to become vacant.
No more viewings while you're paying rent.
