>> After all, it's not your property you're staying in.

Actually, it is your land. You have a property right. It isn't eternal or unlimited, but while you are renting the location it is in fact "yours". Landlords are not allowed to run around on rental properties like they own them. They don't. Their rights are curtailed for the duration of the lease. This big deal when landlords start performing "random inspections" for things like grow ops.

  You have a property right.
You have an occupancy right -- a right to quiet enjoyment of your residence, with constraints on landlord entrance/interference under non-emergency conditions... not the same thing as property rights.
