Generally, the wording in your lease agreement is very important in a situation like this. Unless the lease states otherwise, you should have exclusive possession of the premises, and the landlord's employees should not enter without your permission, especially if you have told them not to. Unfortunately, most apartment leases give the landlord's representatives the right to enter at any reasonable time in response to your repair request, as long as they leave notice after the entry.
