Agreed!
I know there's a principle at stake here, but sometimes it's best to sacrifice the principle to the practicalities. It sounds like it's not a pleasant place to live. If I were you I'd be looking for a new place to live. A lease entitles you to the "quiet enjoyment" of your living space. Seems to me the landlord has constructively voided the lease (I'd check with a landlord/tenant lawyer to be sure).
