I'm a tenant and my LL has sold the house. She had 20-25 viewings over a period of about 6 weeks which I agreed to and facilitated. I even helped the EA take photos for Rightmove etc.
She only told us she was selling the house straight after we had signed a contract for another 6 months at the property (ends 1st Sep). At the time we asked if we could leave the contract early if we find elsewhere to live and the answer was a "yes but I might change my mind". If she hadn't sold the house we would've stayed long term. We always got on fine with LL and paid on time and keep property clean and tidy etc.
Fast forward to now and LL is refusing to let us leave the contract early and insists on us paying full rent until the very end. I'm obviously annoyed by this as I've essentially facilitated her house sale and now I'm effectively being forced to stay or pay 2 lots of rent. I appreciate that we signed a contract so not much we can do.
Now her buyers are wanting to do a survey on the property. Am I allowed to say no? I've put up with so many viewings and I'm fed up by the LL unreasonable behaviour and wish to be left alone for the last couple of months of my tenancy. My contract states I must allow viewings in the last 2 months of my tenancy (that starts 1st July - 1st Sep) but doesn't mention surveys. I've been going around in circles trying to get legal advice about this. Please help!
