According to the Tenant/Landlord Law in the state of Florida, the Landlord "must provide reasonable notice is at least 12 hours
prior to entry and reasonable hours are
between 7:30 a.m. & 8:00 p.m.
• Landlord may also enter without
consent, in an emergency, when tenant
unreasonably withholds consent and if
tenant is absent for a period of time
equal to half the time for periodic rental
payments."
"With some specific exceptions for such activities as serving
notices, conducting maintenance inspections, doing agreedupon repairs, or showing the unit for sale, the landlord must
respect the tenant's right to private enjoyment of the unit in
much the same way that an owner occupant's right to privacy must be respected. In those areas where a landlord
does have a right to access, the landlord must generally follow a carefully spelled out notification process prior to entering the rented property. "

Wetdawgs is right.  You can also check your lease.  If you have issues with him showing the property ask him for more notice or just on certain days.  A landlord typically doens't want to upset  tenants when trying to sell or re-rent the property.

Good Luck!

A landlord can put a home on the market.   Notice for viewings must comply with your state's law about notice for non-emergency access (usually 24 h, sometimes 48 h - check Florida's landlord/tenant guidelines).
