    Well, first to this:

    I can find no statute controlling the landlords entry so guess what that means? He can enter without notice to you with you there or not unless there is a local law or it is in your lease.
    I found this just to satisfy my own curiosity:



    Rules regarding landlord access to the premises.

    A Landlord has the right to enter the premises at reasonable times to inspect, maintain, and show the premises. Except in the case of emergency, a landlord must gain permission from the tenant in order to enter. The Tenant may not unreasonably deny permission. Either party may obtain injunctive relief from the courts if the other party is unreasonable regarding access issues.

    and where did you find that.

    I can cite things such as this as well (and many others):
    http://www.thelpa.com/lpa/landlord-t...enant-law.html

    The landlord is permitted to enter the premises at reasonable times (normally daylight hours) for the purpose of inspection or to make repairs and should first notify the tenant.
    but neither of them alter the fact that Pennsylvania statute does not address the issue, at all. As such, it would be determined by local ordinance or case law. I'm not going to look up case law for this but I am fairly certain what has been decided is that as long as the LL is not doing anything to harass a tenant, there are very few restrictions on when and how they can enter their property. Times other than what the courts typically consider reasonable could easily be seen as harassing.

    Lack of notification is not required in other states as well so that is not so far fetched as to make one believe it is absolutely wrong.

    as you can see in the citation I provided, it states the landlord should first notify the tenant. not must. This is the type of thing I find when there is no law directing it and everybody is simply suggesting what should be and not what has to be.

    So, if you believe you are being harassed, then you would have to go to court and let the courts decide on your specific situation. If there were laws in place, there would be no need for this. It would typically specify the limitations and often the punishment for faling to follow those restrictions.
