You are not on the lease then NO you can't do a thing. The landlord will probably evict all in the unit your mother included as she violated the lease.

Wait a minute, the lease may permit the mother to include roommates or live-in guests. The trouble here is your mom is the power as lease holder and you are not. Why isn't your mom in the picture about it?
