    Hi, just a quick question, my girlfriend lives away for college, she shares with 5 other girls they all have there own room and enSuite bathrooms the only thing they share is the kitchen and hallway.
    Now here's the thing the landlord lets himself in without any notification whatsoever he comes in for no reason at times, she has told me they all feel a bit intimidated by this now he only comes into the kitchen or hallway my question is, us he legally entitled to enter their kitchen without notice?
    Thanks

    Nope!

    Notice must be given.

    Are they renting the rooms individually IT have they rented the whole house ?

    Chances are the landlord has retained the right to access the communal areas as they do not rent the property in its entirety. Quite common in purpose built student accommodation, which considering each room has an ensuite, this property is.

    I doubt that is correct. If they have all signed a joint lease for the whole property, you'd be right. But seems like they are each independently renting rooms. The LL likely retains access to the communal parts of the house
