They can only enter with written notice of entry either 24 hours, 48 hours or in 6 days by mail.
If your landlord is violating that right, you need to contact your local fair housing office immediately and report this. |

If anyone.. including your landlord enters your home without notice or permission they can be arrested for trespassing.. Or possibly Breaking and entering...It's very simple.. all you need to do is to call the police and they will EXPLAIN to the landlord that he is in violation of trespassing and can be arrested.. I think that that's all it will take to stop this action.. I would hope at least.
Also if you report this HE (the landlord is in violation of the lease so the lease will be thrown out too as he was the one who violated it.. Good luck...
Do NOT change the locks as previous suggested as that is illegal on your part without landlord permission. |

oh contra, they have done something wrong- although you have given notice the apartment is technically yours until you move- landlord MUST GIVE YOU NOTICE. No exceptions- ifs and or buts. |

Notify management in writing that entering the unit without proper notice will result next time of a criminal charge of trespassing will be issued |

Tell them in writing that if ANYONE enters your home without your prior written permission then you will call the police.
They have a right to enter with 24 hours written notice, but you have the right to insist on being there as well. You just have to make the unit available to them. |

call the police department, and temporarily change the locks.

Even with notice given the terms of the lease should still be upheld until the lease terminates. If 48hrs notice was what was required for repairmen, then she needs to adhere to that. However, if he is showing the property to prospective tenants then he is allowed to do so since the notice period is understood to be given so as to allow the landlord time to market the property to a new tenant. |

See if your state or locality has a Tenant's Board or Renter's association that can help. You might contact your state senator's or state representative's office to see if there is someone who can help in your area.
Good luck! |

Contact the Tenant Board and have them right a letter to your landlord. OR you can go online ( I believe its still online) and mail a copy of your rights as a tenant to your landlord letting them know that what they are doing is illegal.

I'd call the police and see what they have to say about it. I'd also contact legal aid. They deal with tenants rights all the time and have pamphlets telling you what your rights are. He's definitely breaking the law. He should give you 24 hrs. notice if he needs to enter the apartment. |

I got this information from The Guide to California Law website http://www.weblocator.com/attorney/ca/law/c22.html
Generally, a landlord may enter a tenant's unit only in an emergency, to make necessary or agreed-upon repairs, alterations, or improvements, or to show the unit to prospective renters or purchasers. Except in cases of emergency, or when the tenant has abandoned the property, entry may be made only during normal business hours unless the tenant otherwise consents. Unless it is impractical to do so, the landlord also must give the tenant reasonable notice (usually 24 hours) of intent to enter. |

Hide behind the door and wait on a day you think they may come by. Then, shoot the bum in the face with pepper spray! After all, he did enter your home without your permission.
