Does a non resident on my apartment lease have right to enter or go through my home without telling me
My uncle is on my and my
mother’s lease. He is
constantly entering my
home or sending my sister
here without telling me or
when I’m unavailable and
not at home. Is it legal
for him to do so?

Yes, if your uncle is on the lease, he has the same right to enter the home, to store things in it, to let other people (your sister) enter it or stay there, or even to live there himself as you and your mother do. Being on the lease makes him a tenant with rights of access and possession.
