In theory the law is supposed to prevent them from entering, but in practice many ignore this rule, because what are you gonna do about it? It's happened to me several times.
Setup a 24 7 web cam. When they enter without notice call the police for trespass, file a police report, and if it keeps happening file for a restraining order.
The premise is that they need to enter for maintenance, and if you live somewhere crappy or very small they'll also enter to show prospective renters if you aren't renewing.
Here, landlords are also responsible for maintenance; but the way it happens is you take pictures of the damage, they pick a professional contractor to come take a look at it (without them present), and then a contractor comes take care of it on your timetable - you pick when they come.
If the landlord is unresponsive, you can also call a contractor yourself and the landlord will eventually need to reimburse you.
It may depend on the state but generally speaking your landlord can only entrr during an emergency or else it requires 24 hour notice

Both are still insane to me. If you're renting he shouldn't have the right to set one foot inside, period.
