I assume that you are in UK?
Your landlord has not right to enter the property with out giving you 24hrs notice, and even then you can refuse,and there is nothing he can do.
If he enters the property with out you permission, he is breaking the law. "The landlord or landlords representatives are not allowed to enter the premises without the tenants permission. To do so would be breaching the tenants rights of peaceful enjoyment of the property. "
If he ignores it, change the locks, don't tell him. If he is coming in he will what to know why the locks have changed, and you can challenge him. |

Maybe it wasn't the landlord.
Change the lock. |

Landlords are not allowed to come in while you are gone without giving you notice. |

Annoyed? I would call the police, get my gloves, and get ready to deliver a beating were he still in my home. It is illegal for them to enter your home without notifying you first. |

Yea definitely, although it's his property you are paying him to live their. He shouldn't be there without giving you prior notice! I would phone him up and ask him about it if he admits just ask that in future he lets you know when he will be there. If he denies it not much you can do. Just again say that if he will be there to let you know i guess. |

No one should enter you premises without your permission or notice they are coming. Perhaps it wasn't him. Install your camcorder. Check it out. Was it just that one time or is it a continuous happening? |

It is definitely uncool, UNLESS there was an emergency. If your smoke alarms were going off, for instance, then the landlord has every right to get in and find out what is going on. But if there was no emergency, then he (or she) has no right to enter the property without prior notice.
But before freaking out and throwing a tantrum, call and speak to the landlord and ask if something happened that needed his (or her) attention. If they don't have a reason for entering, or tell you that they didn't enter, let them know there was a break-in and that you're contacting the police to report the burglary.
And follow through with it.
JMO of course. I would never enter my tenants' apartments without permission OR emergency reasons. AND if there was an emergency reason to enter, I would let the tenant know exactly what happened. |

Any maintenance that you have requested to be done, leaky faucet, dishwasher won't drain or anything like that, They will normally notify you when they will be in your apartment to fix the repairs, otherwise nobody is allowed to enter your residents without your knowledge. That's invasion of privacy in most States. I wouldn't just be annoyed, I'd be looking for an attorney and find out just what your rights as a renter are. If you have any nice jewelery that was laying out in the open, it could be missing and how would you be able to prove it was stolen from who ever was in there. You pay rent and they should respect your space. I would be all over the landlords chest with golf cleats on asking what the hell he was doing in my apartment without you being aware if it. |

I agree with the first two, are you sure the light didn't just burn out? |

Where I live, it is illegal to lock a property owner out of his own property -- what if a pipe burst or a toilet overflowed and he couldn't get in to fix this? You would pay, that's what would happen.
Speak with him and say you would appreciate proper notice before entering your unit. Going overboard before simply talking about things is very immature. |
