I am currently in the final two weeks of my one year lease for my apartment. I am annoyed that the resident manager calls me and tells me people want to take a look at the apartment.
Is it within my legal rights to tell him "please show the apartment to others AFTER my lease term is up and I have left".

Usually the landlord does have the right to show the place while you are still living there. However, there are some techniques you can use to make him stop.
Next time he calls, empty out your garbage can into the middle of the living room. Perferably, it should contain last night's dinner.
Conspicuously put out rat traps and/or rat poison and a can of Raid.
When he shows up at your door, answer it in you most-worn pair of boxers.

He's within his rights. He has to give you 24 hours notice.
A landlord has the right to enter rented premises after giving
tenants reasonable notice in order to make needed repairs (or assess the need for them) and to show the property to prospective new tenants or purchasers.

It should be in your lease. Typically the place can be shown during your last month. You can "buy" your way out of this by paying about half a month's rent,

As long as you are living in the apartment and paying the rent they cannot bring people in there to show the place without your permisson

No. He has the right to access the place for this reason.

Usually, no, it isn't.
What does your lease say?
