    Yes im female. I have cameras but they failed while I was away. I have my suspicions that he turned the electric off to stop them working as they are usually ok. I know its illegal but he keeps entering on the pretext of looking at the boiler. I would go to the the police but dont know if they will take my complaint seriously?

    I think they were asking you to check if he's a perv who has been putting cameras in your room..... if you suspect this ask report the possibility to the police - there may be previous complaints....

    You talk about "the rooms I rent". Do you live alone? No other tenants in the house?

    I think a call from the police saying you are concerned there maybe this possibility may make him consider his actions carefully. Even if he isn't up to anything odd - people really should think what people will think / how things look..... you don't let teenage girls sit on your lap if you are a teacher - you don't poke around single female tenant's room (or knicker drawer).

    I rent two rooms. I know for a fact he enters my bedroom not sure about the other room. I dont live alone, there are a couple of guys here too but dont think he goes into there rooms.

    Speak to the private tenancy relations officer at your local council. The police rarely get involved with landlord/tenant disputes because most breaches are civil rather than criminal.

    Live in landlords can access parts of the property but live out landlords must give notice and gain consent from tenants before accessing it.

    Change the lock on the front door and your bedroom door and swap them back at the end of the tenancy.

    How do you know he enters your room if you aren't there?

    Because hes moves my bed on the pretext of getting to the boiler. He thinks hes smart and moves the matress back but it doesnt fit the frame properly so I know when its been moved.
