Today, my landlord started showing my apartment, where I have lived and paid rent for over 2 years, to prospective tenants. I didn't realize that I was moving. FML

They do; the landlord is legally required to give OP 24 hours notice before entering the apartment, and is also required to give at least 30 days notice (depending on the lease) if they're evicting OP.

I meant to thumbs you down. Yes it is illegal. I don't know what kind of lawyer you had, or what part of your story you're leaving out, but yes it is illegal not to get permission first. They are required to give a 24 hour notice.

You have a contract I hope because then you have until it runs out. If you do not then he has to give you a 30 days notice to leave. If he doesn't everything he's doing is illegal.

Not just should have, is legally required to. In Canada 24 hours notice is required before any entry without the tenants express consent.
