Mandatory house viewings?

[afishnotabird]

I have given notice on my tenancy in a private rent property, and have just had an email from the letting agent stating that if I don't allow viewings in the last month of my tenancy, they can make a deduction from my deposit. I was under the impression (from Mumsnet!) that I don't have to allow access for this?
Is this correct?

I'm in Scotland, if that makes a difference and I've attached a screenshot of the email.

Didn't want to read and run....in England it was in the contract my daughter signed for the re the house that she had to do this or risk deductions. You might want to have a read through your contract and see what it says

Sending hugs tho cos it's a miserable situation

I'm pretty sure that's not a valid reason for withholding deposit.

I'd ask them on what basis they think deductions from your deposit are permitted. Then take it from there - be interesting to see what they have to say. It's a threat with no teeth if you ask me.

Thank you for your replies,

I've asked the agent if they can arrange them for two weeks where we are on holiday from work as we work night shift.

I'm hoping it's not going to be an issue anyway as the bathroom is still half demolished from some recent plumbing work, so it would be daft to do viewings as it is.

would be total nonsense in England - not a valid deposit deduction. Agents lie as the industry is completely unregulated.

no idea on Scots law though, sorry.

Complete rubbish, it's your home and they have no right to enter (except emergency but that would apply to any random passer by)
They should have asked nicely and you may consider.
If they're getting forceful, tell them any access without you present will incur a 1000 pound access fee. Alternatively tell them you'll be popping round to their home address on certain days, and not to worry if they're not in as you'll bring a lock Smith to enter and take a look at all the rooms. Tell them to keep things tidy for you. As that's basically the same thing.
