Well, they own the place.. you are just borrowing it. And be thankful you live somewhere that wants to fix stuff.

And do you mean call in late or didn't go.. because that would be laziness. Either way, they can come in without you there to check on things. You could of left for work.

It goes both ways. Show that landlord every thing that needs to be fixed even as small a light bulb out or hvac air filter needing to be changed. Better yet have a long list written down on paper to present him. Every little fricking thing you can find like a drip from a faucet. Then tell him since you like to stay on top of this shite I hope it can all be done by the end of the week. When that's done I'll start a new to do list for when you come by next month

That’s the thing. He they don’t stay on top of shite. And to be clear these people are only worker bees for a leasing agency essentially. They come about 3-4 times ever 6 weeks let’s say. Randomly. And it’s usually just a maintenance man. Not the landlord. This time it was a random woman as well. So take it as you want.
I don’t like non homeowners, that work for homeowners, in my home unannounced. It is technically my home temporarily for 1 year minimum.
Bottom line it feels like an invasion of privacy.
And yes I went to work. But had to call in late. I’m not letting a semi sketchy maintanence man and some lady that helps..? Idk her title, but not landlord, in my house while I’m not there. Sorry. Not happening.

A landlord should call and give you notice if they swing by ,but she can enter the premises to inspect the property if it is in the lease. I don't know why anyone would oppose if that is what she is doing. Ensuring the property is properly maintained is in the best interest of both parties.

She says it’s “in the lease” but isn’t it La. law to give 24hrs notice?

I had a landlord my last semester at LSU that would do that on game day morning. Would get a call at 8am asking to come by and walk through the condo in two hours. Thankfully my sister was already living there when i moved in and kept the place clean and we didnt throw any big parties or anything there, but it was pretty irritating nonetheless.
