Check your lease. Most leases contain provisions that set forth the conditions under which they may enter the premises.Generally, this includes maintenance and inspection of the property. This provision should also provide something about how much notice (if possible) the landlord will provide to the tenant before entering the property. "Landlord shall provide Tenant with at least __ hours notice where practicable before entering the premises."
A good landlord will leave a notice, either on your door or in a prominent location inside the property stating when they were in your apartment and why.

NO NO NO
The only people who can enter your property are the emergency services - if it is life threatening or a police officer with a warrant.
In paying your rent, you have a right to enjoy your home 'without fear or intimidation'. The landlord must get your permission to enter and give adequate notice - at least 24 hours - and it must be at a time suitable for both (ie, it is not expected that you lose a days pay to wait for him).
This includes all property - including the gardens etc.

It should be in your lease contract that with good cause a landlord is allowed to enter your place. We have in our leases that we can enter the property if we deem it necessary. I.E. if there is a leak in the apartment above, if we think that the person living there is in harms way, or if the person has submitted a work order. We always try to call the tenant first but if we can not get ahold of them we still proceed.
Also the person in the apartment should leave a notice when they were in the apartment and why. We leave door hangers on the inside of the front door explaining who, what, where, when, and why. With our offices phone number.

No Landlord can enter any rented property without the Tenants permission even if that tenant is in arrears with the rent.

A landlord has to give his tenant plenty of notice to enter the property...it could be as little as 24 hours but they still have to give notice.
Landlords may own the house but the tenants all have rights.
Check your contract for further details.

Only in an emergency...like leaking pipes, fire etc.
If they have attempted to contact you to pre-arrange a time for access for some reason or another and cannot get you they are supposed to put a notice on your door giving you 48 hour notice that they will be entering.
EDIT: Actually, I re-thought the wording of your question... yes they can...they don't need your permission, but they are required to give you notice..unless it is an emergency.

No
A landlord must give you 48 hours notice. This must be in writing or to your face. Not to a third party

Well if they are your landlord then its not your property is it?
You are renting from them and no doubt if you read your lease it says they can and you signed and agreed to it.

Most state law only requires reasonable notice at reasonable times.
A knock on the door between 8am and 5pm would most likely be reasonable notice at a reasonable time.
