Generally speaking your landlord if not entitled to visitation under the lease, for other than emeregency purposes has to give you reasonable notice. Every tenant is entitled to "quiet enjoyment" of the premises leased. Tell him in writing if he gives you 48' hours prior written notice, you will be pleased to allow him to inspect the premises and then depart. Tell him no inspection request if not for an emergency can't wait 48 hours. If he did not ask for a key in the ease, don't give him one. Also send him a separate letter advising him you don't like or appreciate his ribald remarks, comments about your appearance or touching you, and if he does it again you will ask for court involvement. Best to do this in a letter from a lawyer.   Thatcher Stone 646 873 7521  ... Read Answer
