My LL owns a house split into a few flats. He lives in a house in a lane just behind these flats. So. He’s local and I see him often.
Today whilst putting the bins out, I saw him and he asked if I’d received his email. I said no, he said oh how strange but anyway, the gas safety inspection is being done today, are you around?
I explained that I was but I had several confidential calls (work) that I couldn’t rearrange. What time would the plumber be over? He wasn’t sure.
Plumber turns up, bang in the middle of one of my calls. I don’t answer the door (because I couldn’t run off), so he and the landlord let themselves in. I mute myself and re explain to them both what’s going on.
plumber asks me to empty a cupboard, I say I can’t, but fine for him to do so. He wasn’t pleased about this but I explain that I can’t leave my call to do this.
later, he smashed a drinking glass and a bottle of gin by accident. Apologises but doesn’t clear it up.
this all went on whilst I was attempting to work, and given I was off mute, could be heard.
I am mortified. My LL knows I work from home and the nature of my job.
WIBU to write to him and explain that today was a one off as I won’t be able to allow access without 24 hours notice, and, that today impacted my work?
i know I sound precious but I am SO annoyed. As is one of the other tenants who was woken up by the plumber letting himself in (neighbour works night shifts)
