Answer :

It depends on your rental agreement really. Some landlords put in their agreements that they can enter their property at any time, others say they will give notice unless it’s an emergency. First thing to do is check your agreement and see exactly what it says about her entering the property. Also, many agreements also discuss adding additional locks to the property, so check for that too. It could be against your agreement to do so.
