You need to read the lease. In my lease it clearly states that they can enter my apartment at any time even without any prior notice.

I don't think it's any reason to sue. Just find a new place to live if you or your daughter does not like the conditions of the lease. But it's going to be hard to find a new place to rent that does not have conditions like that!

Yeah I would move her out if I could. Otherwise, set up some internet cameras they are cheap enough now, and watch what the landlord does. If he violates the lease, sue his a$$

I'm not sure it would be possible (and even if it were possible -I don't know that it would be worth the time and hassle) to sue, if the landlord violated the lease. Most leases have clauses that the landlord can enter the home with notification, unless there is some sort of emergency requiring entry (at least that's how my leases have always read). Assuming the landlord has violated the terms of the lease, or if the renter feels unsafe, it could be grounds for moving out and ending the lease early + still recouping security deposits. My husband had a few inexperienced landlords that violated terms of leases (not returning security deposits, etc). He pursued legal counsel and it turned out to not be worth the time, money, or headache.

The right of the landlord to enter the property with or without notice is detailed in the lease. Many landlords (especially private owners who rent out houses) reserve the right to enter the premises at anytime. Even if the lease requires notice it usually has clauses that give the landlord the right to enter without notice in case of an emergency or to conduct an inspection.

You stated that she is already moving out. Chances are it is not worth the hassle and headaches to pursue legal action. Did she give notice that she was moving out? If so, my guess is the landlord entered the property to inspect the condition. He is most likely requesting the unit be cleaned up so that it can be shown to new prospective tenants.

No offense, but while no one wants the landlord poking around, it is generally their right and they are generally only doing so to protect their interests.

Why on earth would a LL write to someone's father and tell them the place is messy?

Something seems very odd.
