Council officials are notorious for getting above their station and displaying vindictiveness towards anyone who doesnt treat them importantly.
He will log every action and negative word that you say to compile a dossier against you to fight their case.Be careful,if they havent got enough reason to evict you they will use any means necessary to encourage you to breach your agreement.
There is a charity called "shelter".They have a legal team specialising in tenancy law.Explain ,how the official was rude and threatening towards you the first visit.thats why you refused entry.
Take their advice,they may offer to mediate.
Call the council and offer him entry.I know its backing down,but dont fiddle while rome burns.Your offer will bear well in your ultimate defence.Staying in the property will be your victory.

This sort of situation catches you by surprise and it is difficult when you don't know your rights. Alas it is too late to tell you that it is not a good plan to tell anyone in a power position to f off. A power position is something like a gun pointing at your brain box and includes a council official at your door who has the power of eviction. Find a new home.

He is the representative of the landlord, he's just doing a job... why did you have to resort to swearing. Maybe this was your downfall. The council employee has a right to go about his work without being verbally abused.
I don't think you would be able to convince a court that a landlord rep calling twice is harassment.

I would imagine you have it in your tenancy agreement to allow reasonable access to your landlords (the council) - they generally have to give you 24 hours notice. If they turn up without notice and demand to be let in, you have the right to refuse and should not be evicted for that reason.
If they did give notice, and you have refused them access then you've broken your agreement and could be evicted.
Seems a bit harsh though. Have you broken the agreement in some other way? If not, get some legal advice, you could stave off the eviction.

You should've complained the first time.
Now it looks like you are the aggressive troublemaker and they have this to use against you, saying you are a dangerous or aggressive person.
You can't undo losing your temper, but you should still complain, this may be a long term problem with this person and they may make an exception because of it.

If this happens again just say no you cannot come in now, make an appointment . If you want to be bloody minded or awkward keep on cancelling any appointments that you make. Why do you want to stop the "landlord from coming in though?

it would nicely be worth it just to grant be conscious to the two the police stress and the community. With an techniques-set like that, he does not belong on the police stress, and he could be extra of a risk to the community than the guy harassing you. If I have been you, i could be very tempted to touch a reporter at your community newspaper or television station, and/or write a letter on your newspaper's editorial area. you would be able to desire to additionally record each call to the dept, i.e. date, time, who you talked to, and so on...Their reaction time is thoroughly unacceptable, and what the cop reported to you grew to become into completely unprofessional. individually, I probable might are transforming into myself in worry as a results of fact i could have been so tempted to make a remark approximately how lots extra quickly he might have arrived if a donut shop grew to become into being robbed.
