Outside of necessary repairs or maintenance, you can legally refuse unwanted visits from the landlord to the apartment you are paying rent for.
Story time: A couple of years ago, I was looking to buy an apartment and saw one spacious apartment centrally located that was way below market price but had no pictures in the ad. I called the agent and asked when can I visit as soon as possible since there's no pictures. Agent said the old lady currently renting it does not allow visitors inside, that's why there's no pictures. I asked how in the world can you buy an apartment without seeing it? Agent said that's why the owner is selling it below market price. And the charry on top, if you do buy it, you'll be forced by law to keep the current tenant who's paying frozen rent, not adjusted for the past 20 years, until she either decides to levees voluntarily or dies. That's why the owner had to sell below market.
- giraffe_lady 5y agosorry but every part of this is good? you can't go in someone's home if they don't want you to. you can't kick someone out of their home if they don't want to leave. someone being this hostile about it is rare but it sometimes happening is a necessary consequence of these rights. anyway though in most places our protections are not this extreme. you can refuse a specific visit but have to provide a time when they can come later.
