one thing to remember, you can't stop them entering when you're away because it's a rented space, but you can stop them entering when you're inside - just lock the internal lock and don't answer the door. you do have power and control. not as much as you'd like to have, but more than you had when you were little and your dad could come in when you were inside. it feels horrible now, but it IS different in important ways. focus on the differences.
