With respect to your overly demonstrative landlord I would personally speak with him/her about how uncomfortable you are concerning the touching and talk and follow such up with a letter keeping a copy of such for future use and reference and hope that the conduct ends.

If the landlord retaliates against you, you should consult with a landlord tenant attorney with respect to what your options would be such as a restraining order.
