Ok, so here's the deal: I live in a house with 2 other guys in NJ, on one consolidated lease that was originally three separate leases.

the landlady comes over without notifying me, and is continuously working on the outside of the property, without ever notifying me as such. Yesterday (9/28/07), she came over,and started paving the driveway, blocking me in. I was not given enough time to get my car out, and today, she has done the same thing.

Furthermore, every time she comes over, she brings her dog. In our lease, there is a "no pet" clause, and when I politely asked her about the dog's barking, she told me to "go inside, close the door, and wear earplugs." I'm a college student, and need peace and quiet to study, I find this sort of response completely unacceptable.

She has also decided to try to tell us how to organize the pantry and refrigerator, has placed a locked cover over our thermostat, and has told me that I cannot put anything else in the living room (I have 2 bookshelves, and wanted to put in a free-standing coat rack, as the house has no closets).

I feel uncomfortable being here, and have been actively trying to find somewhere else to live, but in the meantime, she has refused, essentially, to even give me copies of my lease. What should I do about this?
