    My landlord issued me with a 4 week eviction notice last Saturday the 7th of may. it was over a dispute beween me not paying my last months rent. within the past week the landlord has entered the house to which i rent a room in, 4 times without giving me any notice. last night while i was studying for my exams i heard a knock on the front door at 10pm. i didnt answer it because i was too busy studying. the landlord opened the front door and went into the house. i stayed in my bedroom because i am afraid of the man. i saw his jeep leaving afterwards.
    on wednesday night the landlord called to the front door and didnt say hello. he brushed passed me with a hammer in his hand and went upstairs to do something in the hotpress.
    on saturday he entered the house and left esb bills on the kitchen counter.
    the thursday prior to that he came to the front door with screwdrivers and brushed past me once again without saying hello.
    im getting very pissed off with this man and hes beginning to scare me. i saw him driving around the estate where i live on one occassion and i have reason to believe he is trying to intimidate me into leaving the property early.
    should i go to the police?

    I would not class the above as trespass. He appears to be carrying out works in common areas.

    If your lease provides that you should have exclusive possession and that the landlord has no right of entry then there is trespass. However, that is a civil rather than a criminal matter. Talk to one of the bodies that advises residential tenants.
