Help - I’m losing trust in my landlord

Pics?

Recommend setting up a secret security camera in your place. Get the stuff on tape in case legal action is needed.

figure out her schedule for coming in and then let her "catch" you spankin the monkey

This has a movie written all over it.

You need more info here. Are you renting a room? A house? An in-law suit in the back?

You gave no info here.

Realizing that your landlord actually owns the place, do renters have any sort of special rights in your city or state?

Suppose what I’m asking is, can you legally stop her from waltzing into your house whenever?

Renting one bedroom out of two. She hasn’t rented out the other room.

This is a house I’m renting, she has a separate detached house. Two addresses

In the US an owner can only enter property they rent out for certain purposes (e. g. to show it to new tenants if the lease is running out). Other than that they don't have any more right to enter than a stranger does.

You are renting one bedroom in a detached house where no one else currently lives?

Tenants have rights in most jurisdictions and you can find what they are probably online. In most jurisdictions I think a landlord MUST give you 24 hours or so notice before they enter your rented dwelling. This may be just the room, not the whole house. The CAN enter your room without notice IF there is an emergency of some kind, like a broken water pipe.

Personally, I would be very nice and tell them you would appreciate them not coming in your room without the proper notice. If they have a problem with that or they do not oblige then contact a local attorney specializing in real estate tenants law.

change the lock

What State are you in? Can you just shoot her as an intruder?

What if it's actually jamin and not your landlord?

I think this is the OPs answer if he/she can find the statute.

Actually a good plan. Then sue for personal injury - humiliation, mental anguish, emotional distress. Go for $50,000 so that she will be sure to put her liability insurance company on notice.

In my state it is illegal for the landlord to enter without your approval unless they provide prior notice. I think most states have similar laws so landlords can't access your home whenever they want to protect your privacy. Unless you were stupid and signed a bad agreement you should be able to tell them to stop coming in and that they need to give you appropriate advanced notice you agree to. Defend your rules.

Hmmm that changes things. If you're just renting a room in a house they own you dont have certain rights to restrict their access. You should have had in writing what their rules of entry were prior to moving.
