Hey, at my apartment they don't even have to leave a note.
However, they don't enforce the lease provision about having
locks they can't open, so I (and many tenants) have locks they
can't open.  If they get tough on this rule I may move.

I agree.  Anyway, for those of you convinced everyone who agrees
with this really does have something to hide anyway, I have an
innocent but good reason I don't want people coming in my apartment
when I'm not there:  my cats.  I care a lot about whether my cats
get out.  The maintenance guys are pretty nice guys, and I'm sure
they'd try not to let them out, but ultimately they don't care as
much as I do.  Not to mention my cats are frightened by strangers
and I'd rather be there when strangers are coming.

(No, actually, you see my cats are fake cats, they're actually
robot cats I use to keep my illegal substances in.  Yeah, that's it.)

Anyway, I knew all this before I signed the lease.  I don't like
it, but there are lots of things I don't like about my apartment
that I accepted for various reasons.
