Rules for Lanlords and tenants vary greatly from state to state, and sometimes even from County or City.
Landlords have a right to show the place, and it is usually outlined in the lease. Your landlord should have given you just one notice of what days the unit was going to be showed. Also, notice to entry is not the same for all states. Some have no statute regarding entry. others differ in the time required prior to entry. I have provided a list of each state with the corresponding amount of notice required. You should always check at the municipal and county lever, but the table below should be a good basic guide.
