WHEN CAN THE LANDLORD ENTER THE RENTAL UNIT?
California law states that a landlord can enter a rental unit only for the following reasons:
In an emergency.
When the tenant has moved out or has abandoned the rental unit.
To make necessary or agreed-upon repairs, decorations, alterations, or other improvements.
To show the rental unit to prospective tenants, purchasers, or lenders, to provide entry to contractors or workers who are to perform work on the unit, or to conduct an initial inspection before the end of the tenancy (see Initial Inspection sidebar).
If a court order permits the landlord to enter. 104
If the tenant has a waterbed, to inspect the installation of the waterbed when the installation has been completed, and periodically after that to assure that the installation meets the law's requirements. 105

As a general rule, no, the landlord can only enter the premises without forewarning or permission in the event of an emergency. The exact rules will vary by state; look up your state's Landlord Tenant Act on the internet for what applies to you specifically.

Did you call him about a problem? Other wise no.. not without making an appointment for an inspection which it probably states in your lease that he can do. Hey, I woke up one day and my landlord was touching my shoulder, I shoulda sued him but I just moved out. You are luck you weren't at home when he came. Take him to court

As the owner, YES. Read your lease. Most landlords will let you know if they are going to come in but this is a courtesy. They have the righ to protect and maintain their property. If they start going through your stuff, call the police.

Absolutly not even though it is his house as long as you live there and the rent is paid on time and it is not an emergence
then is the same as breaking and entering. I used to be a police officer and ran up on this once

They MUST give 24 hours notice before entering the property, unless there is an emergency (fire, flood etc.)

Yes they do however they have to let you know before they come. Unless they suspect something you are doing. Or if they want to check on some problem they feel may be going on.

NO, THEY DO NOT!
By law, they have to tell you 24 hours in advance that they are going into your home.
The only reason I can see going in is to spray every 30 days for pests, or to do plumbing, or to fix something you have asked them to fix.
