I think you do need a warrant - unless there's some specific clause in the
lease / tenancy agreement that says you'll let the Police in any time they
feel like it! Check with your Solicitor!
But I don't think this is a DPA question - its more likley to come under
Human Rights Act 1998. Probably Article 8 (respect for private and family
life, correspondence and home) and Protocol 1, Article 1 (peaceful
enjoyment of property & possessions).
