517. in pa where I live I believe it's called

a tenant's right to peaceful enjoyment of the property. The landlord has to give something like 24 hours notice before they can enter the property unless for some kind of emergency (like the house is burning down and the tenant isn't there). The tenant has a right to privacy without the landlord calling or coming by often, checking out the property from the outside, peeking in windows, questioning the tenant about their guests for no legitimate reason, questioning the tenant about how they live or what they do on the premises, etc.

The landlord is allowed to inspect the property giving notice of when and only for reasonable reasons, like to fix maintenance problems and once a year to see if the tenant is using the property legally and appropriately (not doing anything illegal like drugs or allowing underage drinking, and to make sure they are keeping the place relatively clean, not bashing holes in the walls, putting up permanent fixtures without permission, etc.). They can't let themselves in for these inspections or maintenance issues and must knock and be admitted. They are allowed to have a key to the property but only use it in case of emergency, like a fire, water pipe bursting, etc. when the tenant is not at home to answer the door. A landlord has NO right to pry into a tenant's personal life or question other people about their personal life nor do any other snooping on the tenant to see what they doing noticing their comings and goings, how long they are out or at the property, who they invite as guests, etc.

There's a lot of other stuff, but that's the general basics.

I had an old landlord that was a creepy pervert that was constantly calling or stopping by for no reason at all than to bug me. He also said a lot of inappropriate things during these calls and "just stopping by" invasive visits. One of the things I like so much about the landlord I have now is that she leaves me the hell alone.
