Default Landlord Access to property? Breech of contract?

Hi All

Just had my Landlord's Agent call me to say he has a "Handy man" outside my
house trying to gain access with a key to do some repairs. He failed
(luckily) as the lock is a bit dodgy.

However, In our Tenancy Agreement, is states that the landlord (or his
agent) must provide 24hrs notice before coming round

The Exact wording is :

To permit the Landlord or the Landlord's Agent to enter the premises at a
reasonable time on giving at least 24 hours notice (except in an emergency)
for the purpose of:

Examining the condition of the premises;

Inspecting, maintaining, repairing, altering, improving or
rebuilding any adjoining or neighbouring property;

Maintaining, repairing or replacing the Fixtures and Fittings;

Complying with any obligations imposed on the Landlord by law.


I would just like to know where we stand. We have suspected someone has been
in our house without our consent previously. Only now has the Landlords
Agent admitted the attempt.

If we were to breech the agreement, I imagine we could be evicted. But what
if the other party breeches the agreement?

TIA

Regards

Bongman
