My landlord has had my house on the market for about 4 months. It started very slowly with a few showings, but has now increased to about one visit a week. We've had people meddling in our closets, and one man even looked in my personal chest of drawers (not attached to the house in any way). We always dread seeing the flashing light on the answering machine 24 hours before they'll show up. Is there any limit to how many times our house can be invaded?

I'm not sure but they certainly aren't allowed to go through your drawers!!! Tell people that the house has been furnished by yourself and do not want them to be going through your stuff. Or tell em it's haunted or say your landlords horrible, doesn't keep up with repairs and so on so they won't come round looking

Most states will have case law , on the frequency that a landlord can enter a house for non-emergency reasons
it is usually normal business hours m-f 9 to 5
If it gets crazy next time you see the flashing light on a visit leave some dishes in the sink, leave some clothes on ground maybe gets some boxes in hall way making it seem crowded
How much time is left on your lease? what do you plan on doing if the place sells

Short answer is no. But you can work with the landlord to recommend showing days/time so that all showings acn be scheduled for same time/day to avoid regular disruptions...

No the house belongs to the landlord and as long as he or his agent gives notice he can do what he needs to do. Why not buy a house of your own?
