What does the lease agreement say? It should specify how much of a notice is required.
It also depends on the circumstances & reasons for the landlord entering the premises.
A landlord does not have every right to enter a property. By renting it out, the tenant is paying for the right to use the property and privacy.
You should consult w/ an attorney or a your landlords'/property owners' association to avoid any legal disputes.

Typically, 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. In addition, a landlord may enter rented premises in instances of abandonment (that is, when the tenant moves out without notifying the landlord) or by court order. A landlord may not enter just to check up on the tenant.
States typically require landlords to provide a specific amount of notice (usually 24 hours) before entering a rental unit. In some states, such as California, landlords must provide a reasonable amount of notice, legally presumed to be 24 hours. Landlords can usually enter on shorter notice if it is impracticable to provide the required amount of notice.
Email, voice, carrier pigeon or other means of 'notice' is not outlined in the statute.

Most lease agreements have this provision. If they gave the notice in the usually fashion, then they are within their rights under the agreement.
I haven't seen an agreement recently that required written notice. Normally, it would be a telephone call. Some lease agreements state that the landlord can enter the property at any time without notice.
Your state should have a landlord-tenant act on the books. I think all states have adopted the uniform code on this. If you have any disputes with the landlord, those statues govern the resolution.

A notice will suffice. Landlords have every right to enter the unit. A renter is just that, a renter. You're well within the scope of law to enter. A notice is beneficial to create less friction between tenant and leasee.

it wouldn't hurt to tape it to the door, but go on in after 24 hours.
