Expert Advice When You Need It Most

When can a landlord enter the unit to show potential new renters?

I gave notice to quit the unit and now my landlord is showing up unannounced with new potential renters wanting to show the apartment to them. I do not let them in and tell the landlord that they must give me a minimum of 24 hrs notice. Under what circumstances is the landlord allowed to enter the unit? I am afraid to not be there if someone grabs something of my valuables when the landlord is not looking. I am also afraid the landlord may enter the unit when I am gone to work without my permission.

You are correct that the landlord must give you 24 hours written notice to show the apartment. Lock up your valuables if you are moving soon and he is showing the apartment.
