No. Landlords are not allowed to enter your apartment unless
1. They are invited (like when you give them a maint. Request,
2. They give you a written notice that they will be entering (like for an inspection), or
3. There is an emergency.

If the landlord is using a good lease, this should be one of the things confirmed in it.

Legally, all the landlord has to do is "deliver" the notice; and I'd guess that posting it on the door is "legal delivery" in most states (as it is in mine).

I did not understand from your first post that you suspected that she DID enter. If this is the case, then don't jump to assume a wrongdoing yet: Just ask. Tell her you "see someone was in your apartment" and ask her why.
