quote:

I was disappointed not to meet you on 19th May as I knocked at your door a number of times and waited quite some time for you to answer.

quote:

Perhaps next time you want to see me you arrange to make an appointment instead of just turning up when you feel like it. I do not see why I should stay in my house on the off-chance that you want to see me.

If you would like to make an appointment, then perhaps you would be good enough to send me some dates/times when you are free (commencing the week beginning 9 June and beyond if next week is difficult for you) and I'm sure that we will be able to find something agreeable to us both.

Sound can be very distorted in the here. Sometimes we hear people knocking and then find out the knocking is on our neighbours doors and it can be very difficult to hear if we are upstairs. Sometimes we simply don't hear it. I may have been in the garden, the laundry, upstairs or simply out. Without knowing you were going to try and see me I couldn't possibly have known to listen out for you.

Shorter, no sarcasm, professional, and proves how irrational the landlord was:

I am not always home, and I was not aware you wished to see me. Therefore, I find it odd that you would be "disappointed" that this occurred; I am not, as a tenant, obligated to fulfill your expectations of when and where we are to meet without advance and agreed-upon notice. I would never extend this imposition upon you.

Should you wish to meet me, please contact me by phone during normal business hours. I am certain we can find a mutually convenient time and date.

Furthermore, note that sound can be very distorted in here. Sometimes, I hear people knocking, only to learn that the knocking is on our neighbor's doors and it can be very difficult to hear if we are upstairs. Sometimes we simply don't hear it.

You wrote 'I was disappointed not to meet you on 19th
May as I knocked at your door a number of times and
waited quite some time for you to answer.'

I was unaware that we had an appointment for that day.
I have checked my emails but I cannot see any from
you informing me that you wanted to see me on that
date.

Perhaps to save further disappointment and
inconvenience on your part, you would like to
telephone me to arrange a mutually convenient
appointment?

I am busy with different things this week, so would
appreciate it if you could make it next week sometime,
preferably on Thursday 12 or Friday 13 June in the
early afternoon.

I don't understand why you were disappointed when I didn't answer the door. I am not always home, and I was not aware you wished to see me that day. I would never show up at your home unannounced and then be offended when you didn't answer the door.

Should you wish to meet me again, please contact me by phone during normal business hours. I am certain we can find a mutually convenient time, date, and place to meet.

Furthermore, note that sound can be very distorted in our home. Sometimes, I hear people knocking, only to learn that the knocking is on our neighbor's doors and it can be very difficult to hear if we are upstairs. Sometimes we simply don't hear it. It helps to know when to expect people, so please, make an appointment.

If she thought you were home, I wonder why she didn't call on the phone?

Bizarre that she didn't just write to you in the first place and give you her phone number, asking you to call her. [8|]

In the UK, are landlords allowed to just drop in unannounced?

I shall reserve judgement about her until I know her better, but she seemed to be better than the first (email) impressions were.
