Typically, a tenant is entitled to quiet enjoyment of the leased premises during the term of the lease.  As long as you are current on your rent payments and have not otherwise breached your lease, your landlord cannot make you move out until the end of your lease term.  If you do not have a written lease agreement, or if a prior written lease agreement has expired, your lease is most likely now month-to-month.  If so, your landlord can give you not less than 30 days written advance notice that he is terminating your lease.  Unless your lease permits your landlord to enter the premises during the lease term to show the property, you have no legal obligation to allow the realtors to enter until the lease ends.  It would be a kindness on your part to allow them to enter.
