Landlord Walked Into My Apartment While I Was Showering. Is This Legal?

Location: Florida

Yesterday my landlord and a maintenance guy unlocked my apartment and came inside while I was in the shower. I only realized because my dog started barking like crazy and I heard voices in my apartment.

I honestly thought someone was breaking in at first.

They said they were there for an inspection, but I never got any text, email, phone call, or notice on my door beforehand. When I confronted my landlord later he said they “knocked first” and that maintenance is allowed to enter.

Maybe they did knock, but I was literally in the shower with music playing. I live alone, so my bathroom door was partly open and it honestly freaked me out knowing strangers were suddenly inside my apartment while I was naked a few feet away.

Thankfully I yelled before they came further down the hallway.

Now my landlord is acting like I’m overreacting because “nothing happened” and they didn’t actually enter the bathroom.

I just want to know if this is actually legal with no notice or if I’m right to feel uncomfortable about it.
