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