My sister lived at the apartment complex I'm moving to and they came into her apartment while she wasn't there because they were checking for damages since she was moving out and needed to make a list of the things they would need to repair any damages. Now, that I think should be illegal, but they did it anyway. With notice, I can easily hide or move my cats to make it seem I am complying with the rules, but without notice, I could easily get caught with too many cats.

Your examples are the exception of moving out, and emergencies. But to randomly walk in someones house its against the law no matter what state you live in.

Even given notice and your not there and they walk in, its breaking and entering. Someone has to be there when they enter for legality reasons. And if they walked in your apt when no one was there just cause they notified you then you are a victim to them.
