Landlords' notice to enter when showing property - how much is reasonable?

Post Body

Renting a townhouse and wanted to see if the community had any insight on our situation. We're in the last month of our lease - landlord knows we are vacating at the end of the month and everything has been by the book so far. He's been showing the townhouse to prospective tenants which is fine but his notice window has been shortening with each new group. First it was a day notice, then 12 hours, then today.

He just texted us this morning that he's going to be showing to prospective tenants TODAY in about 7 hours.

I've checked our lease and there's no language I can see that sets the hours notice he has to give other than it being "reasonable" and from what I've dug through online I keep seeing 72 hours but that seems like a lot. We don't need 72 hours but I want to see if I have standing to ask him to try and keep it to at least 24 hours if possible.

It's not a HUGE deal and today we have someone home at that time but we prefer to have someone home when the landlord is by and it's just frustrating to have such short vague notice that people are coming through.

Do I have a leg to stand on? We've had an otherwise good relationship with the landlord and I don't want to damage it but I also don't want to just roll over because as I said these windows he's giving keep shortening.

Edit: thanks for the downvotes people - I'm actually someone who HAS been Googling to try and find my own answer and just thought to ask clarification from my community and apparently that irked some folks.
