I have no lease, agents are giving 24-48 hours notice, they want to show the apartment 9 am - 7 pm. I work odd hours. Can i refuse to have them show the place? Can i refuse them entry even if they did give me notice?

You can ask the owner for reasonable showing hours.
That's it.

If your landlord does not have a lease that specifies access rights, then the only true right of access they have is in an emergency. Anything else is negotiable. State law probably allows reasonable access to show the premises, but that access cannot substantially interfere with your right of quiet enjoyment.
You have the right to request that the place be shown during reasonable hours, and 10 hours a day is unreasonable.
Reasonable also means reasonable for them too. You can't expect that showings will be from midnite to 2:00 am because of your work schedule.
Call them up and tell them what days and times will be good for you because of your work schedule and work something out that everyone can live with.

It depends on what your original lease / rental agreement states. You can make the owner / manager abide by the terms of the agreement, which probably states that they have the right to inspect the property with a certain amount of notice. You probably could insist that the owner / manager be present when the property is inspected, which will likely reduce the frequency since it will inconvience them.

i mean yes and no. you have a right to deny someone access if you deem its an an inappropriate time. If i were you, I would give your landlord 30 days notice, to vacate and tell him after that your going to move out and hes free to show it anytime. in our building we only allow showings of current tenant apartment between 9-5 which is reasonable bc then no one is distrubed after hours. try talkign to the owner tell him what times are good for themt o come, preferably when your not home so that its convient for everyone.

They are entitled to entry at reasonable times, and the times stated are on their face reasonable. You cannot deny entry.

You probably need to review your leasing agreement/document...and then the laws of real esate/rentals in PA.

You probably can't refuse as long as they give reasonable notice.
