oh man, this happened to me not to long ago- same thing, manager wanted to enter apartment for appraisal. Check out my thread entitled Trailer Park Boys Moment...it's priceless, we moved all of my plants outta the apartment by running thru the hallways with them- and they were only covered up by grocerie bags that were mainly seethru. soooo sketchy but hilarious. lol. it all worked out in the end.

good luck btw.
