Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New Jersey

I live in New Jersey and my lease is expiring. Under the section labeled "Display of Signs" it reads: "During the last 60 days of this lease, Lessor or his or her agent shall have the privilege of displaying the usual "For Sale" or "For Rent" or "Vacancy" signs on the demised premises and of showing the property to prospective purchasers or tenants".
I have no problem with the landlord showing the place and have even offered and have shown the place for her. However, what I do have a problem with is Realtors wanting to show the place without much notice. And I am adamantly against allowing a Realtor to enter the premises when I am not home. I work from home and have valuables, computers and a dog.
Am I legally allowed to deny a Realtor to enter my apartment when I am not home? What kind of notice does my landlord need to give me when she wants to show the place?
I have been very flexible with my landlord with regards to showing the place, but if I am not going to be home for a weekend, I do not want anyone in my apartment.
