I told her 3 months ago that the windows don't close. She sent a guy to fix it one month ago, he said the house had shifted, no way to fix it. She called another window repair guy. They came over yesterday while I was out, without notice, and entered the house while no one was home. My rental agreement says she needs to give at least a phone call the day before unless it is an emergency. I don't think this is considered an emergency since she has known about the problem for 3 months. She also left a lease extension in the house, raising the rent and extending the lease another year, but the lease expired 7/1, and the agreement says she need to do that one month before the lease expires.

Park your car around the corner, and wait for her to come in when she thinks you're not there. Then clock her with a frying pan.

Well it depends upon whether you want to continue living there or not. You can cause all kinds of problems then she will just ask you to leave since your lease is on a month to month lease now. If you don't want to live there you can file a breaking and entering with the police department. As for the lease agreement she can give you a new one at anytime after the original has expired. You don't have to sign it and she does have the right to ask you to leave she just has to give you notice. You are on the month to month which also means that she can raise your rent at anytime with 30 days notice (I think that is the amount of time) Each state is a little different. If it were me I would just call her up and talk to her and see if you can work things out.

It depends on the state you are in. Here in TX, the landlord can enter at any time without notice. That is not true in other states.
As to the rent increase, that requires 30 days notice before it can take effect and you have the option to either sign the extended lease or give notice of your intent to move out.
Your rent cannot be raised until the 31st day after the notice.
Once you are past the original lease term, the law presumes you are renting on a month-to-month agreement. Therefore she doesn't need to give you the rent increase before the end of the lease, just 30 days before it takes effect.
The lease extension requires the signature of both of you to be effective.

In most states, the landlord owes you peaceful or quiet enjoyment of the thing leased. That is obviously not happening. It would definitely be grounds for a rescission of the contract and you may be entitled to damages like cost of moving, etc. I would either get an attorney or you could probably pursue the matter in small claims court or a justice of the peace.
She is apparently just trying to get rid of you since you are a "trouble maker." I would seriously consider the suit and prove her right!

make certain what your employ says first. that's usual (and in some states that's regulation) that a tenant get be conscious (in many circumstances 24 hours) in the previous the owner or his agent can enter. favourite exceptions to the previous be conscious requirement are emergency or abandonment. This varies from employ to employ and state to state, so it is not inevitably breaking and getting into or perhaps a criminal offense as some responders propose. i might strongly propose you to rfile while those intrusions occurred in case you come back to a determination to accomplish that as to terminate the employ for trespassing or harassment. be sure you have requested the owner, in writing, to furnish you notice while they choose to make certain the valuables and be useful in attempting to manage habitual inspections/visits. something better than a million or 2 a month would be a valid argument for a harassment declare in my opinion.

You should have call the police and had it reported. The next thing you need to do is call a lawyer to find out what are your options. I would not sing that lease again. Move out.

i would have left long ago. it took her 3 months to fix some windows that would not close, who knows who went in your home through the windows. but i think i would have called that an emergency, but she should have called and let you know.
this sounds alot like the home i have rented, except our windows will NOT open, its HOT in here. it has air-conditions units, well it came with 1, we had to get another one. its small,old and not worth what we are paying.
good luck to you!!!!!
