Does anybody have any info on the laws that would protect me from having to allow my apartment management from being able to march strangers through my apartment anytime they want?

I wonder if someone being from out of town and wanting to look at my apartment really qualifies as an "emergency".

I also wonder what qualifies as "reasonable right of privacy".

I'm not a lawyer but I would say ... NO!

I have seen some ads on Craigslist where the renter specifically says pictures unavailable or viewing is unavailable b/c the unit is currently occupied. I mean, maybe there is something specific in you all's lease (fine print) but I'm still thinking no.

Btw, don't blame you for being pissed I would be too. I don't want people coming into my place and seeing my stuff and getting any bright ideas. There has got to be some legal law center thingy for B-more city that you could contact to ask.

It's not like I having anything to hide (except for clutter and occasional nudity), I just really want my privacy. They are coming in, or notifying me of intent to enter every couple days lately. I have to rearrange my sleep schedule to accommodate them, and make sure that they don't catch me coming out of the shower or getting dressed. Why should I have to rearrange my life to accommodate them? They should be asking me when it's convenient for me. I had to pay them so that I could have a place to be free, keep my own hours and have some privacy. How do they know that they won't accidentally let my cats out as well? I feel invaded. I suppose I'm being melodramatic about it, but I feel like a museum exhibit.

I don't think you are being that unreasonable. I would feel the same way. But some would say that I'm crazy. :P Since you live alone and are female I think that you have every right to want to not worry about strange people (rental co. or not) in your apartment. If you really don't feel comfortable talk to the rental company. If you are paranoid they are coming in when you aren't there put something in place so you can tell if they are coming in and out.

The thing isn't that I'm paranoid that they are coming in when I'm not there. I already know that they are showing the place sometimes when I'm not home.

I don't feel comfortable talking to them considering the attitude that I got when I last attempted to.
