If there is no restraining order in place, you have the legal right to the apartment. You should call the local police, show them the lease and have them meet you at the apartment to "keep the peace" while you evict her. Without your consent to her living there she is a trespasser. You may need to get a restraining order against her after the eviction. Good luck!
