My Landlady’s Brother Is Harassing Me in My Room—What Should I Do?

I am an introvert and writer, so I spend most of my time indoors. After I moved into this neighbourhood, my landlady introduced me to her brother. He later began asking about me whenever he visited and said I should come out more often. I tried to be friendly, but during a later visit, he came into my small room and questioned me about my relationship. He moved close to me and repeatedly tried to touch me despite my attempts to move away and stop him. I reported him to my landlady. She promised to speak to him, but he denied everything. He returned today and knocked on my door, but I refused to open it. My landlady is now asking whether I am sure about what happened. He may return on Sunday, and I am scared he will keep harassing me. What practical steps should I take to stay safe and handle this situation?
