Unless specified otherwise in your rental agreement/ lease, in most states, your landlord only needs to give you 24 hours notice to enter your residence.
in the event of an emergency, he may enter right away and give you notice after the fact.
If you are in doubt check your state's land lord tenant laws. they are available for viewing on line from your state's web site.

Check your lease. Usually they have to give you 24 or 48 it will state it in your lease. It also has to be approved by you before they an enter. Most leases say a written notice as well. Pull out the lease and write the Landlord back quoting the lease. A desperate Landlord, one who needs money will try and force issues to sell property. Stand your grounds acting like you have a Lawyer advice and use the simple language of the lease as your guide.

Well skip Blondeheiress's answer because she has no idea what she is talking about.
Once a landlord gives you the required notice to enter, he does NOT need your permission. You have the option to be there or not be there. However he has to give you a reason. (If he is showing it to perspective buyers, if he is repairing a problem,)
If you refuse to let him in, he can evict you. You may rent it, but it is his property. But he has to have a reason to enter. In an emergency situation, he does not need to give you notice of his intent.
He either needs the appraisel because he is selling the property or for insurance purposes. If he gave you 24 hour notice, you cannot refuse to let him in.

It depends on the state... for inspections...some require 3 days or written...some only moments. All states that I have dealt with have exceptions for situations that the landlord may deem emergency...He must be allowed rapid access for repairs that could do costly damage to the premises. To refuse access in an emergency may place the cost of repair squarely on the shoulders of the tenant...check with your local Consumer Affairs division of the Department of State for the rules governing your State.

Where I live the notice is 24 hours in writing. I know that I let my landlord in for emergencies but we had to give consent for him to do that.

If there is an emergency(broken water pipe, gas leak) no notice. To do repairs or schedule repairs 72 hour prior notice, at least a phone call and work out some sort of arrangement, I wouldn't want to have someone in my home without me there.

Laws very from state to state. But where we are you don't have to give a notice at all. You can stop at the property whenever. You can NOT enter it unless you have reason to believe it has been abandoned and here it takes a thirty day court approved notice of eviction.

To do what? Just come by? None if she/he really doesn't want to I suppose. They do own the place, correct? It would be polite if they let you know though & even ask if it's an okay time. I'm not arguing that!
