bad landlord
ok i got a question what happends if you have a boyfriend but you hate his mom. Also you moved in with him and you rent out rooms she is the landlord but she walks in when ever she wants and brings anyone in whenever she wants. She wakes people up at weird hours i mean i know its her house still but there has to be laws against something!

If you are renting a room in her home and sharing the same entrance and kitchen, then you aren't a 'renter' and she is not a 'landlord'. Not legally anyways, you are a boarder and the standard tenancy laws don't protect you. She is allowed to do precisely what you are describing because as far as the law in concerned it is her house and you just live there.
If you are renting a separate space with a separate entrance then you certainly could take her to court, but seems like a horrible idea given the circumstances.
Find somewhere else to live.
EDIT:
I'm not sure what you found rude about this. I summarized the law accurately. If you have your own entrance and kitchen then you are a tenant and there are laws that protect you. Because of your question I assumed (mistakenly) that you did not have your own entrance and you were technically a boarder at a room in her house.
Frankly hun, you can hardly blame me for that assumption. It's a miserable situation many people find themselves in when the move in with their teenage boy/girlfriends and would account for the mothers presence. Don’t bite my head off for making your question unclear. I can only read what you write. I cannot read your mind.
SO you ARE a renter and she does not live on in the property then yes, of course you have legal steps that can be taken. But as yggirls said, that will be messy and detrimental to your relationship with her and likely with your boyfriend. Landlord Tenant Court should be your last option.
SO find somewhere else to live.

Well, the simple solution (though it may not be so simple) is to rent rooms elsewhere.
Even if you don't like her, you need to respect her. She is his mom, and she and he both deserve for her to be respected. Always remember that.
However, she isn't being respectful by barging in whenever she wants. If you pay rent on a room, that is YOUR room.
She has no right to just come in no more than she would have any right to barge into a house she rents. That is trespassing. She owns it, but you pay for it.
But like I said, the simple solution is really, truly, honestly the simple solution. Move out.
If you seek legal action against her or cause a ruckus, you may end up with more issues than you bargained for.
Just think, if you marry this guy, she will be a part of your life for the rest of your life.
Moving out would be harder now, but far, far easier in the long run.
