microwave sensors on lights are great, the only disadvantage is that they sense through doors meaning tenants activate the corridor light going to the toilet in the evening.

I managed to partially block the sensor with aluminium kitchen foil.. has anyone had similar issues?

Does it not have an adjustable range, usually a set of dip switches or screw dial. If so reduce the range. If not replace with PIR.
 
Yeah I've had this myself on a contract i was running to replace some lighting in schools, put some LED bulkheads with integral MW sensors in a couple of small stores and they detected movement through the doors, even when turned as low as they would go. In the end I think the contractor bypassed the MW sensor and fitted a good old PIR.
