Apologies for asking a question on my first post, but I could really use some advice!

I recently moved into a rented property, and a three weeks into the tenancy the landlord asked if he could get the property valued (as he hadn't done so for several years). I agreed to this, but last week noticed that the property is for sale with a local EA, with internal photos of our possessions (including loads of AV equipment, a top-spec computer, etc).

Obviously, I'm not happy that he wants to sell up (although the price it's marketed at is extremely speculative!), but I'm more concerned that my permission was not asked to take photographs of my stuff and publish them. The LL sees no problem with this (and neither does the EA). To be quite honest, it's mainly the principle of the matter and the arrogance of the LL that has annoyed me, but the property is clearly identified and the building has been broken into in the last year - it seems like asking for trouble to display thousands of pounds worth of electronics on Rightmove!

Anyone know if I have any legal right to address this, and get the photos removed?

I'd be really grateful for any help!

I dont think theres any legal redress - Just get a mate to view it and put in a stupidly high offer, he can string them along for 6 months and then pull out, at which point you get another mate to put an offer in...

That`s a wickedly perverse idea - nice one m8

Re. this issue - did the landlord have our permission to have the photos taken (in writing from you)? If not that could be a breach of your rights (24 hours` written notice is normal).

Also, you know he`s got to issue you a Section 21 Notice to Quit, and that`s notoriously difficult to get right

If you`re not happy with the pictures though, get them to take them down. Then arrange to have your goods moved / covered / stored for the duration of the picture-taking, then get them to put the goods back (including rewiring etc). That should make them think.

Have a word with the Tenancy Rights Officer at your local council.

Hope this helps
