Never had a landlord do that. My landlord has only been in the building twice this year, once to replace a pipe on a sink that went bad, and once to put in a new stove. They don’t even have a full complement of keys. I know some companies demand constant access, but once I saw those clauses in the lease I said no thanks and stopped looking at any properties form that company.
In Manhattan, landlords rarely are on the scene. All work is done by the “super.” In fact, landlords are kind of these hidden entities. I never met one in all my years of renting.
