It is going to vary by state however, I am sure that all states have some right to Quiet Enjoyment laws.
Quiet Enjoyment does not mean Quiet as in sound or free from noise it has to do with your Peace and the idea that a landlord has to give you your space. It is one of the promises that they make to you when you promise to pay rent and abide by the rental agreement. (definition of a bi-lateral agreement when it is a promise for promise arrangement)
Contact your local Housing Authority for details. |

No. Depending on local law they are required to give some kind of notice whether they just go on the property or not. It is an invasion of your privacy. Call a lawyer or just informally inquire from the local police. |

Like others have said, no they can't just pop in. It depends on the state, but lots have the 24 hours notice rule except in an emergency. Of course, they can always call and ask if they can come by and you can say yes. Then it's up to your discretion whether you let them in or not.
I'm sure there are also laws against your landlord being a nuisance. |

Always read your lease to see what it says about entering the unit. Most of the time they must give you warning if they are doing inspections or anythign of the sort. The only time they enter without notification is if it is a maintenance emergency. If he is just coming to the property but not entering the unit, he has every right to, it is his property. |

Look to your lease agreement. You may have agreed to the policy he is following in there. Otherwise, look to your state laws to see what they say. Best recommendation is to avoid the legalities and just say "hey, I really want to be a good tenant and you can see that is the case by the way I maintain the apartment, but would you mind affording me a bit more privacy by way of letting me have a days notice prior to visiting?" Tell him that you understand if it's an emergency but otherwise ask to have some notice.
Putting a law in front of someone to get them to do what you want is best as a second choice or last resort before trying a more pleasant route of just talking to the guy.
Good luck. |

as stated above unless it's an emergency they can not come over anytime they want
usually they are required 24 notice to enter the property then depending on the state certain states say a landlord even with notice can only enter unit during normal business hours m-f 9 to 5 only, in CA even with 24 notice a landlord can not just come over to inspect they need to be doing a repair etc
next time they show up say I just go out of shower it's not a good time, if you find them in the unit without proper notice call the cops and issue a trespassing charge
What a landlord fails to realize is the lease is a temporary transfer of certain property rights to you for the term of the lease one right is called right to quit enjoyment of the property meaning they can not just show up |

No. Other than for emergency situations, he has no more right to enter your apartment without your express permission than I do. |

it varies state to state, but in SD a lanlord can't come to your apt unannounced unless it is an emergancy. otherwise you have to be given 24 hours notice that they will be there. so i would find out, call a lawyer hotline or the department of housing in your state. they will be able to tell you and if it persists what legal avenues you can go down..... |

You really aren't being specific enough.
The landlord doesn't have a right to enter the unit any time they want, except in case of emergency.
As far as entry onto the property itself, if it is a multi-dwelling property they can come and go as they please within the common areas.
If you rented a private house, the issue would be addressed by a combination of state law and clauses contained in your lease. They have a right to inspect and maintain the property, but when they rented it to you they gave up the right to hang out on the property just because they feel like it. You also need to look at your lease. Did they retain the right to use the yard?
What are they doing when they come over? Are they doing work? If so, that's allowed and they probably don't have to clear it with you first. I rent a house, and my landlords are on the property frequently. They trim branches, mow grass, clip the bushes, rake leaves, clean the gutters, etc ... and I can't stop them. Nor do I want to.
Is anything other than their mere presence annoying you? Are they standing on the lawn drinking beer? Are they peering into your windows or otherwise invading your privacy? Are they expecting you to let them them in just because they showed up? If so, those things aren't allowed because it is interfering with your right to quiet enjoyment of the premises and you really need to have a talk with them about it.
Sometimes small or individual landlords have trouble grasping the fact that they gave up the right to do whatever they want whenever they want when they leased or rented their property. They feel that they "own" it and can do as they please, and forget that they transferred many of the rights that come with ownership to the tenant when they rented the property. |
