On the day after we moved in I told him it's ok to come in and fix the bulbs he promised. He is an oldish guy living far from Dublin so I didn't want him to wait for us all day. I meant for only that one occassion.
Since then he has given keys to other people, like a man from insurance company and workers to fix a leak and repaint the bathroom.
I was told about the paint job half an hour before they arrived and I was about to leave for work. I told the landlord I am not happy for stangers going in and out to my apartment without me being at home. He hasn't given any notice and all our personal stuff was in the bath. He apologized.
A few days later my BF was at home and the man from the insurance company just let himself in with a key.
I have no idea how many times did it happen that someone or the landlord came in while we were away.
Other tenants in the other 2 apartments doesn't seem to care (or just were happy to have their bathrooms fixed for free) for this.
Can I change the lock without telling the landlord? He shouldn't find it out as he is not allowed to let himself in without previous notice and us being at home right?
