What does it say in your lease agreement? If I owned the building and you were moving out I would expect to be able to show the apartment to possible future tenants. Most Landlords have the right to access the apartment for maintenance and other reasons.

That usually depends on the arrangement made with the landlord, In a corporate-owned apartment complex usually not, but many landlords who own houses that have been subdivided into apartments, etc. expect to be able to show the apt. if needed prior to a tenant moving out once that tenant has given notice of moving.
Technically, the signed contract/agreement should say the landlord has that right, but very often tenants just comply with the request to show the apartment as a courtesy to the landlord, particularly if the landlord has allowed a tenant to break a lease without financial penalty or has just been a great landlord.
While you may not be REQUIRED to show the apt., keep in mind you may want a favorable reference for another place down the road, so being cooperative is helpful. If you are being asked to show the apartment too much or at inconvenient times then you should feel free to negotiate that with the landlord.
BTW, if the real issue is there are certain things you just don't want visitors/your landlord to see in your apartment, keep them hidden. Rarely do visitors go through your drawers, open your refrigerator, etc.

Well your landlord will deal with them. They can't just bust in without the landlord. Is the landlord asking you to let people view the apt? If so, yeah let them see the house, you're moving out anyways. Hope you have an easy move!!

Yes, but you can make the landlord schedule appointments.
The landlord can ONLY enter your place with your permission or in an emergency. If you catch them in at other times, you can sue them.
It's best to keep the LL happy so you can get your deposit back.

It's the landlord's property. They have the right to walk in at any time and to bring others around to see the place.
If you want privacy, get your own place as your next move.
