Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Ohio

What are my rights as a tenant. I work from home and will be moving soon. I gave my landlord my days off to show the place for potential renters. However for my job I have to protect customers personal information, so having people walking thru my home when im working is an issue and possible breach of personal information when im working. Do I have any rights? My landlord lives out of state and will have someone showing the place I rent.

Your landlord must give you 'reasonable' notice before he/she or their agent enters your apartment. 'Reasonable' has been interpreted by courts to be notice no less than 24 hours before entering, except in an emergency. The time of day at which the landlord can enter must also be 'reasonable.' Generally speaking, neither 5am nor 10pm are reasonable times. However, times during 'working hours' or during the early evening have been found to be reasonable.
