More details to this question:
My landlord just sent me a text today saying that the police contacted him and he has to inspect my unit. I'm totally fine with the inspection as I have nothing to hide and have not had contact with police at all. However, when I asked him when and why they were contacted he wouldn't answer me. What right do I have to know about the issue? I am just worried something happened while I was at work or if to my neighbors that regards safety. Anything about the matter helps. Thank you!

The landlord has no right to inspect your apartment without your consent, and the police department would never ask a private citizen to do so as anything found inside that was illegal to possess would be barred from being used as evidence because no warrant issued for such an inspect. ?Tell the landlord you are uneasy about the situation and can not believe the police would ask for his help.
