I consider myself a tenant does my landlord
I'm not on the lease where I live but my boyfriend name is though. Landlord knows that I have lived with my boyfriend since he moved in. However problem is my boyfriend went to jail and doesn't look like he's going to get out soon. Luckily I've been able to pay my rent on time to landlord past 2 months. Problem is landlord enter my apartment without notice while I was in shower. So that my boyfriends Mom could she if I was home or not. I feel violated and upset.

You aren’t on the lease. The landlord doesn’t know who you are. They don’t know if you live there or are just squatting. The landlord doesn’t know your name.
The landlord is not psychic. Merely seeing you at the property does not mean that the landlord knows you live there.
If you want to be on the lease, you have to apply to live there on a lease, otherwise the landlord could act to remove you at any time.
