    Yes, that's what you agreed to when you signed that lease, right?

    Yes, in fact they will normally prefer that you not be present when they show it. Normally they will have to give you a 24 hour notice that they are gong to show it, and they just come and show it, they have should have their own key.

    It is not clear what you mean by "show the premises 90 day at end". Do you mean "within the last 90 days of the lease"?

    What they may prefer notwithstanding, unless the lease specifies that they can show it without your being present, they may not. Normally, again in the absence of language to the contrary in the lease, the landlord doesn't have the right to enter except for emergencies. Showing the premises to prospective renters doesn't constitute an emergency.

    I think the OPs title covers this question "In my lease my landlord can show the premises 90 day at end "

    Yes, the title starts with "In my lease ...". But what I was unclear about was what OP means by "90 day at end ".

    I do hear you, I have gone days and days on the desk without reading a clearly worded question.

    I would assume at the end of the lease, ( assuming there is not a renewal) But I would challenge that they can show the property without them being home. They merely have to give notice that they will be showing it, it is then up to the renter to be there or not. They do not have to set a time at the renters leisure.

    Assuming the landord has the right to enter the property to "show" it. I doubt it says that in the landord/tenant act wherever OP is. So it would have to be specified in the lease.
