    Can landlord enter property
    Does the same rule apply if your lease isn't up for nearly a year? Can I stop the Realtor for violating my privacy such as looking through my closets and cupboards where I keep personal items.

    First its not a good idea to piggyback your question on another thread. To avoid confusion I've moved your post to its own thread.

    Your lease should specify the conditions under which the landlord or their representative can enter the property. If the property is for sale, it would not be unreasonable for a realtor to make a through survey, which may include looking in cabinets.

    You cannot dictate who will or will not answer your questions. If you don't want someone to answer a question, don't post the question.

    A 'great experience' would be advice on how to leave someone when you can't seem to break away, or advice on a cheap way to get to Hawaii.

    You asked for legal advice, and you got it. I don't see any negative vibes in ScottGem's response anyway.
    When it comes to a broker/agent opening things, parts of the house (closets) and 'affixed' parts of the house (cabinets) may be opened. Your boxes, containers, and personal furniture may not be opened.

    Excuse me? What negative vibe did my response give you? It is the policy of this site to not have different people asking questions in the same thread. It is routine for mods (of which I am one) to move piggybacked questions to their own thread. I could have just removed your question as reviving an old thread (something else that is against site policy). My action was to help you get answers and let you know about site policy. So how you got a negative vibe from that is beyond me.

    As others have posted, it is not up to you to say who shouldn't respond to your post. If you think a post violates our rules, fell free to report it and the mods will take appropriate action. If you just don't like it, ignore it. But to tell me you don't want me to respond to your posts, especially after I tried to help you, was, in fact rude. And, in fact, was the only negative vibe in this thread,

    If you choose not to post again, then don't. It will be your loss, not ours. But since I can see no possible justification for your remarks, I suspect there is another agenda going on here.
