Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Virginia

We have an exit date of 08/31/2012 and our landlord wants to rent the townhome to new tennants on 09/01/2012. we do have the following provisions in our lease:
Paragraph 26" " Access to property by landlord...Upon reasonable notice to Tenant and at reasonable times, Landlord...may enter the Premises in order to....(d) exhibit the property to prospective or actual purhasers or tenants, mortgagees, appraisers, workmen or contractors."
My question is this.. My landlord is asking to have 2 to 3 "open houses" a week to show new potential renters, and we complied to 3 showings in 1 weeks time alone but it is getting to be to much and we still occupy the propery and have a family and jobs. What draws the line for "legal entry" for a landlord, and do we have any rights to refuse as goodstanding tennents?
thank you

There is no such line in a situation as described as each party will have his

or her own interpretation as to what is "reasonable" (my opinion).

Twelve such showings in a given week, I think most reasonable persons would

agree is unreasonable but three or even four, I would doubt there would be such a consensus.
