Yeah, the 24-hour notice period is the same here. And if they're going to seriously rearrange anything, for any reason, I'd appreciate all the notice they could give.
I had a really bad landlord experience a couple of years ago, with landlords who had even stronger views on rights to privacy (ie, none at all) than these - it was pretty hideous and ended with threats and police, and I wouldn't ever want to relive that. Still, it was at least simpler to deal with, in its way. This confusion of my landlords' rights as landlords and their rights as my housemate's parents is incredibly awkward; really they shouldn't be telling me what goes where at all, but when they do it in a friendly/patronising way with my housemate sitting across the table? argh.
Giving me no notice worked out okay for me this time, because I was out of the house most of the time they were here and couldn't be drafted in to help with moving/tidying/being lectured at about State Of This Place. (Which really isn't that bad!) I don't think they were too happy about that, either, but they couldn't exactly complain.
