no. you have to let your landlord in (with reasonable notice) as he has the right to access his/her property, but you do not have to let prospective tenants or anyone else in that you do not want to. that is all.....x

Depends what it says in your tenancy agreement, but it's a pretty normal condition that they can.

thanks it says nothing in the contact about entering, i do not fancy people i do not know coming in , guess i will have to ring and find out
It seems pretty reasonable to me.

Surely you can see that he needs let it as soon as possible.
Think you would have to let them in, Landlord might have them moving in on the day you move out. He would not want to be losing out on rental money for the Flat if he waits until you move out before having prospective tenants viewing the property.
Maybe your landlord could arrange viewings when you were available to be there or at least let you know when they were coming.
As CF says it will be in your tenancy agreement if permitted, which you would have signed before moving in it is a very standard clause, often only towards the end of your tenancy and usually giving you notice and at reasonable times. I am very surprised if there is no mention of this in your tenancy agreement.
I would have thought reasonable access wasnt too much to ask - remember you want your deposit back! It makes sense to have a good clean and tidy up and set say on Sat afternoon aside for showings.
