Law: Contract(s) / Tenancy agreement (UK)
English term or phrase: Explanation
This is the same tenancy agreement. What I need exaclty is an explanation of the sentence between stars. Thank you very much for your help :)


You must allow our employees, contractors or
subcontractors into your property, if we give you
24 hours’ written notice (or without notice in the
case of emergency), to inspect or carry out work
in the property or an attached property. *** We will
have given you proper notice under this
condition if we leave it addressed to you at the
property. ***

agree  David Moore (X): ...and if you sign an agreement with a clause like that, your solicitor needs his head read - it's licence to do anything he wants, and I am pretty certain it would be classed "an unreasonable demand" in the UK - what happens if the tenant is on holiday??
