Does my landlord/lady need my permission to enter my house? Look what she wrote:?
I
am writing to give you notice that I will be doing viewings
with prospective tenants tomorrow 13th August starting at
1pm. As is made clear in your lease - I am not obliged to
gain your permission, just to give you notice. I
cannot give an exact time of when I will complete viewings
but it will still be a 'reasonable hour' and at the
moment the last appointment starts at 2.30pm.If
you do not attend the viewings you do so at your own risk.

As long as you are given the proper legal notification that your landlord would be entering the rental unit she has done what is required.
Your landlord need not have your permission. If this was the case,landlord might never be able to enter their rental units as the tenant would forever come up with many excuses to prevent a landlord from entering the rental.
In your notice received from your landlord your landlord is referring your lease agreement that authorize entrance to your rental unit with the proper notification.
It might be to your advantage to read your lease.
I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck.

This is fine by law. She gave you notice - she doesn't need permission, its her home. It's during reasonable hours (not 2 in the morning or anything or 6 am). And it's really only for 1 1/2 hours as of right now. I would say that's all perfectly legal.

No, your lessor does not need your permission to enter *their* house. They need only give you notice. The amount of notice differs from state-to-state. And if there is an emergency (I.E. Plumbing leak) they need give no notice at all.
After Comment:
You've the wrong impression. You're renting the lessor's house, ownership is not transferred. Your rental payments entitle you to quiet use of the place and the lessor cannot excessively enter but, from what you've written here, the lessor is behaving reasonably.

it's legal. She needs to show your place or do repairs or whatever. She has the right to enter because she gave you notice. Do you think that a landlord has to lose a month's rent because you are moving? It simply doesn't work that way.

No your landlord doesn't need permission from you as long as the landlord gives you 24hrs notice in writing that they will be there

She is giving the proper notice but is very vage on the times and dates. It must be a legal 24 hour notice. And even if it is in the lease you do not need to allow them to show the property while you are a tenant that is your right as well.

Your landlord does *not* need your permission to enter and show HER property to potential tenants after she has given you proper written notice.
She gave you written notice.

Perfectly legal - you option whether to be there. You have 24 hours notice, the time is reasonable (usually defined at between 8 am and 5 or 6 pm), and it is for a valid reason.

she may have included it in her lease agreement with you but she CANNOT enter your premises as long as you pay the rent without a 24 hr prior notice except in the case of an emergency
the 24 hrs notice is state law, she has no right to include the limitation in her lease
