answer The Massachusetts General Laws on Landlord Rights & Responsibilities state that:A landlord may commonly enter the apartment at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice for these reasons:

To display the apartment to prospective tenants, purchasers, lenders or their agents
To inspect the premises
To create repairs
To inspect within 30 days of the finish of the tenancy to determine damages to be dedu! cted from the security deposit
If the premises appear to be discarded
Pursuant to Court order

Of course, what is reasonable is subject to interpretation. It would be secure to notify that if they were to give you 24 hours notice and were to display between the hours of, notify 9am and 7pm, that would securely constitute reasonable times and reasonable notice. There are no stipulations about how often you have to let them display it. I would notify as many times as they question, assuming they give you reasonable notice and execute it at reasonable times.

You should too be aware that they cannot evict if you have a lease. The fresh owner would have to honor your lease through its expiration.
