Legal definition of "normal buisness hours"?

Question

From my rental lease:
"Upon not less than 24 hours advanced notice, the tenant will make the demised premises available during normal business hours to the Landlord ... , for the purpose of entering (a) to make necessary agreed repairs ... (b) to show the premises to a prospective or actual purchasers, mortgagees, tenants, workmen or contractors."
(There is also a provision for emergency access in case of an emergency.)

I interpret this to mean that (with 24 hours notice), I have to let prospective buyers into my home during "normal Business hours".

While I realize that these prospective buyers are potentially the people that have to agree to rent to me next year, I don't like my home being on display. Especially on my days off.

What are "normal business hours".

7-11 is open 24/7. Is that a normal business?

Is 6pm on Tuesday, a "normal business hour" for a real estate business?
How about 2PM Sunday?
Is it "normal" for a real estate business to show a property at what ever time the prospective buyer desires?

My bank is closed on New Year's eve. 
Wal-Mart isn't.
Is Dec 31 a normal business day?

How are "normal business hours" determined?

Normal business hours are generally Monday through Friday from 9-5, but that doesn't really work for real estate transactions.  As long as it is not in the middle of a huge party or some other major plans, just be reasonable and let the landlord show the place.  What is the point of being difficult?  I would say anything before 8 PM should be considered reasonable, with no major holidays or Sundays.

For her to claim she was raped 4 months ago doesn't look good on her part. For it to be legitimate she would've had to made a complaint about it to the police when it happened unless another girl recently came forward making the same allegations then the first girl would be able to come forward and cry rape as well. The way you put it, it was consensual and not forced. You could always argue the first girl made these allegations out of retaliation/revenge if your not still with her

It is a very simple answer. What are the business hours of the management office? Those are the normal business hours. If the office is open from 2 A.M. to 10 A.M. Those are the " Normal  hours "
