I live in the are of the original poster complained about (DFW).
Ten years ago this area had an apartment glut and apartment
managers didn't dare do as they do today. Today there is an
apartment shortage, so the managers write the lease as they see
fit, and you have no choice, all apartments are doing it.

The new law requiring apartments to install keyless dead bolts
helps apartment dwellers protect their privacy while they are
home, but while away the managers can come and go as they please.

As long as there are more people than apartments, managers can
do as they wish. Only choice is to move out of the city and face
a long commute, not a pretty picture.
