Not as a general rule, no. But, if you're a tenant, and you report
that something is broken and needs fixing, it's not unreasonable for
the landlord to assume that the report constitutes an invitation to
enter in order to fix it. That's what normally happens, anyway.

You use the work "normal" a lot. Normal in what context?

Normal in the context of my own experience and that of other people I
know.


I will be surprised if anyone else admits to this "normal" behaviour
of allowing unknown people to enter their house whilst they are not
there for whatever purpose.

Anyone?


Me.

I've got a good relationship with my landlord, he only employs people
he trusts, I'm at work during the times workmen like to work so I'm
grateful that when problems arise they get sorted out in a no-nonsense
way. When they work, human relationships work much better than legal
relationships IMO but legal relationships are necessary for when human
relationships don't.
