I'm making the assumption the modem and router are in the landlords
flat and the OP is supposed to pick up the wifi, the point made about
illegal site access (child porn) is interesting, I wonder how you
stand with wifi, hotels offer it to guests, they might even let
people use a PC in the foyer, or a friend might use your PC while you
are away, is ownership of the hardware involved proof of guilt?

No, and the scenarios you highlight are frequently cited as reasons why
a prosecution is unsound. In some respects you could argue you are
better off with an unencrypted WiFi (but wireless to wired bridging
disabled so WiFi users can only see the internet and not each other or
the ethernet)
