The landlord only has to give you 24 hours notice in order to enter your flat (since it technically belongs to him). And, in most cases, the 24 hour notice is just a courtesy and some don't do that at all.

Check your tenancy agreement again. There's usually something in it which states the agreement on viewings should you be vacating. Often it is with 24 hours notice but If there is nothing stipulated in the agreement then he can only bring in someone to view with your permission. Perhaps you should speak with your landlord on this subject and iron out any problems with the viewings.

I think he can, as long as he gives you 24/48 hrs notice. You could say a time when you would be there if you don't want people going in when your not in. It takes time to do the checks on tenants, and he would loose rent if he didn't have someone ready. Perhaps you were not shown round because he was working on the place

Do you want people in your home and around your things when you are not there? If not, don't do it.
But if you don't mind - I would not - negotiate with him for lower rent, a rent rebate, or some other benefit.
Several people mentioned the 24-hour notice, but that does not extend to people he is bringing in to show the property. He can enter if he has a reason. He can allow a repairman if it is justified. But he cannot bring others in just to show them what is there.

I can see no problem with this. If you were selling the flat, you would not object to the estate agent or yourselves showing people around.
They aren't there to admire your personal belongings, just see how big the rooms are, are they sunny, is it damp etc.
Hide anything that you don't want them to see like the dirty underwear, the bondage gear, and go to the pub for an hour whilst they view.

If in the last 30 days of your agreement it is not stated, he has no rights to view, period. Calif-law

He can only enter with your permission or for safety reasons .
(broken water pipe etc)
Sounds like the previous tenant refused showings .
It is up to you , but I'm leery of thieves so I usually refused .

It would just be helpful if you could allow access - hepfullness is kind - kind is nice - and so would you be if you say yes!
