I missed this, sorry, @cake was there for the search, I wasn't. It's my understanding it was all very amicable, but the whole thing does seem odd. A member of the public basically gave them an unsubstantiated tip off, and they responded by popping round for a quick look round.
I'd wager that if the landlord had been a bit more clued up, then they could have asked, "where's your warrant?", but then you're down a difficult path.
"what have you got to hide?" etc etc
Seems strange they just walked in and searched. Did they tell you under what "authoritah!" they were doing it? The landlord's say-so doesn't really do it.
You're clearly a jailbird.
Context for those that might need it.
