Can real estate agents in California enter a home when you are not home while the tenant is still paying rent?

We rent a house in LA. Our landlord has given us 60 days to vacate (completely fair). However, in those 60 days he plans on having real estate agents and prospective buyers tromping through the house regularly (often while we are not there). Is this legal? I don't want strangers in my house when I am not there. Can someone refer me to a legal statute that would help answer my question definitively (the lease has no relevant clause).

  1. all the Realtor has to tell you is when they are coming to view the house Its not your house
  2. It's not your house. The landlord usually has the right to reasonable visits for potential purchasers or renters. They may be required to give 24 hours notice and I think it's murky whether he can give standing notice for the entire 60 day period. His right to show the house is independent of you being there. In other words, he can show it when you're home or not and you don't have any say in the matter assuming he's satisfied the other requirements.
  3. you have the right to change the locks, then don't give'm the keys
  4. Ok Yes you have RIGHTS. In the Listing Agreement there is a Specific Area For if the Property is rented and it says, Does Tenant Want a Sign or Lock Box as-well as time for showing Said Property. YOU HAVE RIGHTS USE THEM!
  5. Contrary to what the first 2 nitwits stated once you sign a lease or take posses ion of property it is yours, if any one enters without your permission including the owner he can be arrested and charged with breaking and entering if you so choose to do so.
