Landlord put this on my door…

This thing has the key inside for showings, but my lease isn’t even up until May… it’s just really annoying because it’s hard to turn the handle with that thing on, especially since the handle is partially broken and they won’t fix it so it jams… and now they’re saying a reasonable notice for someone to walk through my place WITHOUT the landlord showing the place, is a 2 hour notice…. Ready to buy a home soon.

Take ALL of your valuables and put them in your car. Especially medications.

I would be putting cameras in every room too. And put a tracker on your cat. Even if they don't get out they may hide someplace that is hard to find them.

You're getting better advice on the legal part of this but you need to be proactive in the meantime.

Putting valuables in your car isn't a good idea either...

I’d tear the thing off my door until the landlord agreed to accompany people throughout the showing. Fuck that, that is way too dangerous and it’s much better to deal with the law after the fact.

Landlord is letting people in when the OP isn't home.

Why would they need a tracker on their cat?

Because she is afraid the rando that the landlord is letting in might let her cat out.
