    Could work out to be a good thing too. We rented three houses and each time the agent was a real PITA. We met the landlords on two of the properties and from that point, whenever there was a problem, we'd call direct and they were fantastic. One even lifted the "no pets" policy and let us have a dog. They wanted good tenants as much as we wanted a good landlord. Hope it turns out this way for you.

    I general I have found it a good thing that landlord is proactive in wanting to come and fix things, I would see it as something positive that it is being done promptly. Our last one was brilliant. Before us he had attempted many times to enter the property legitimately to do repairs, but was unable to due to the tenant. As he was unable to do so, some issues got quite bad and it cost him money. Honestly, if you need/want something fixed, then you need to be flexible with them in getting it done.
