Is it illegal for landlord to enter apartment without tenants permission?

No, not always.
In cases of emergency (fire, major water leak), they may enter without delay.
More generally, however, the landlord is required to give notice, e.g. 24 hours, and to enter during "normal business hours", e.g. 8AM-5PM.
They would need permission otherwise but a tenant can't refuse a justifiable entry such as coming in for scheduled maintenance or showing the apartment when the tenant is leaving or being evicted.

Can your landlord have you pay for painting before you mve out?
If you received permission to paint the property from the landlord, you're obligated to return the apartment in the same condition as it was given to you. That means the paint on the walls too. So yes, even if you received permission to paint, you're still obligated to return it to as close as possible to the original wall color.If, however, you did not paint the premises at all and the landlord is demanding you pay for repainting for the next tenants enjoyment, that may be a huge no. The landlord cannot expect tenants to repaint after the duration of their tenancy. Minor paint damage (areas of peeling, knicks in the paint, nail holes, etc) are typically defined as ordinary wear and tare. As such, they're exempt from damage claims.
