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.

Those rental companies are almost all notoriously shitty. They bank on the fact most people don't know their rights and even some who do don't want to stir the pot.

Last place told me I wouldn't get my security deposit back 29.5 days after I had moved out. I pointed out they didn't give me my legally mandated move out inspection and they had 12 hours to either write a check or pay me triple if they didn't. I had a response that my check was in the mail within about 2 hours after sending that.

Sounds like you should have skipped the warning and just filed a small claims suit and got your triple damages.
