holy heck, how dodgy does your landlord sound - not least not correctly attaching a kitchen cupboard!!!!
Go through the RE agent - they are *your* protection. He's just trying to avoid paying fees and possibly doing a bit of a dodgy over you. The RE agent is theoretically a mediator between both parties...
In theory, if he was using an agent he has no right to contact you. your agreement is with the agent. And yes, if it is minor damage there should be no issue.
