I was in a situation that was not as bad as yours, but my lines are also a lot closer in than yours are, and towards the end some of my roommates found it funny to deliberately try to irritate me. Here is what ended up working for me until the lease finally ran out: I changed the knob on my bedroom door to one that had a lock. I spent the majority of my time in my room, and I locked it when I left. I purchased a mini-fridge, and kept all my own food in there. I also kept my set of pots/dishes in my room, and washed them immediately after cooking so I could take them back to my room. I also made sure I only ever threw things away in the garbage can in my room, and emptied it accordingly. Ultimately, I made my own apartment inside what I pretended to be a particularly dirty and raucous hallway leading to my front door. The one thing I lost was the communal TV in the livingroom, but hey, I had a computer.
