Assuming this is a joint AST for the whole house, (as opposed to all the Ts having individual contracts for a room, with communal areas), then basically, you can refuse access and there is nothing much the LL could do but apply for a court order to gain access, and the procedure for that would take a few weeks at least, so in all likelihood you'd be long gone before he got a court order.
But I don't think this is necessarily the best or most reasonable course of action. You say you don't know what LL requires access for - so, call and ask, it might well be just to measure up, and contractors often want to arrive at ungodly hours of the morning. Then try to work out a mutually agreeable arrangement if at all possible - the contractor may be able to change to a later appointment slot. Bear in mind that you may need a reference from the LL for a future rental property.

Landlord wants to let carpet fitters in on Friday what are my rights?
I dont know if its to actually lay carpets or I assume so since the tenancy ends on the 22nd June and landlord says someone is moving in a few days later.
I could be wrong but it means I have to be up really early for something that isnt beneficial to me and actually causes disruption especially since the email from the landlord says he will require access to every room when I dont think this is a essential thing for me and I feel like I am being forced to do what the landlord says as a few months ago he had constant viewings round for our student house and sent notice by email often with less than a hours notice and sent rude emails about the state of the house when I kept it almost spotless he has a habit of complaining about the slightest thing.
Currently I am the only tenant left as everyone else moved out but just worried that the landlord is causing me uncessecary disruption.Tags: None

by Hudson01If you do go down the route of changing the locks when they are out then may i also suggest that at the same time you place a call with the Police to inform them of this, and request that the neighbourhood team are informed so if the then ex tenant '' kicks off '' upon her return and calls 999 they...

by HMOmikeI have a house rented on a standard AST to the same tenant since 2016. He has rented at other properties of mine on a single room basis for maybe 10 years prior and is a decent guy and very reliable. He is a Latvian and in 2017 he married a lady from Ukraine. He adopted his wife’s son and all 3 have...

by HMOmikeThanks for all the constructive advice I think my way is now clear. I get the impression that the wife will not go quietly no matter how much discussion takes place! Has anyone any experience of exclusion which seems to be a euphemism for changing the locks whilst they are out. Presumably this means...

by jpkeatesThe latest government figures for possession claims have been published, which cover January through March 2022.
That's post Covid restrictions and would probably include most of the last of the Covid backlog.
And there's no sign of the massive wave of evictions and resulting mass...-

by Hudson01I agree with the above comment, why keep calling the council, if you consider their position, if you kick this bullying leech out of your property then the council may have a legal duty to house her !!! They don't want to house anyone they do not have too, so from their perspective it is best if she...

Reply to Single parent rentingby jpucng62I have also come to the conclusion that a single income is not sufficient to rent a property where my houses are. Paying all the rent and all the bills out of one income is just too much unless you are earning a huge wage. Although I have one single tenant at present I will be looking for couples as...
