Don't ever think that you cannot post here as a tenant. Much good advice is given to tenants on this forum.
I was amazed at the downright cheek of the landlord/agents. It is illegal for landlord or his agent to enter the property without having (a) given the tenants 24 hours written notice; and (b) tenants giving permission for them to do so! And to take photographs which will include your private possessions is totally unacceptable.
To actually interfere with your things and destroy your property - even if it is plants in the garden - is outrageous. This IS harrassment and you should write to landlord and tenant telling them in no uncertain terms that the property is your home and that they DO NOT have your permission to enter it at any time. Tell them that further harrassment will result in you taking legal action and that harrassment and illegal eviction carry heavy penalties. Change the locks as previously advised.
Be prepared to be issued with a s.21 notice, but also remember that you can walk out on the last day of the tenancy without giving any notice at all.
I think you would be wise to look for somewhere else to live - if you find somewhere you might even get LL to give you a consideration for moving out early (i know - and pigs might fly....)
