If your roommate gave her key to her adult son and his girlfriend whose presence at your rental is now becoming problematic for you, unless you have a roommate agreement with your roommate for the rental setting forth each other's obligation to the other, there really is not much you can do.
You can ask the landlord to intervene, but I doubt that he or she will. Likewise you could discuss the situation with your roommate to see what possibly can be done to reduce the time her son and girlfriend are at the rental. If you are on a month to month lease, you can terminate your lease or wait until its term expires.
The problem is that your roommate has the right to have guests at the rental who seem to cause a problem for you.
