Could the landlord have a key from my flat and go in while I am away?

Key, yes, but entry only in case of emergency.

Also he is allowed a key of his lock, if you however decide to put in your own lock while you live there that is fully up to you.

Ackchyually..... The landlord/landlady might only have a spare key or master key with the tenant's explicit consent. Tenant can not be forced to give consent.

Here also explained by the dark side (real estate owner association):

and non surprisingly the same from the tenants association:

I was going to share the same information It is interesting how most don't know that they do have the rights to all keys, I found out via ASLOCA
