Landlord Entering Apartment

[Brian F.]

I need some advice. My wife and I are both disabled and I lost my source of income. I was not able to pay my rent and my landlord said she would release us from our lease and had another tenant ready , which we agreed to. We are moving at the end of the month, but for the last week the landlord has been using her key to let herself in and walk through our apartment. She claims that she has the right to enter with 24 hours notice and when I asked what happened to the notice, she told it that was our word against hers and to prove that she didnt give it. The other night my wife and I were sleeping and we were awakened to her standing over our bed shaking the bed to wake us up. She said she was doing a walk through inspection and would be back again tomorrow for another. She said if we dont like the invasion of privacy then to pay her or get out earlier. She told us that it is unlawful for us to change the key or put in a chain, and she was within her rights as an owner to walk in anytime she likes. Is there anything that we can do ?? Please help.
