More details to this question:
So pretty much my landlord is in some type of program and they’re gonna start construction on my house February but she wants to put my stuff and parts out front of my house. I don’t feel comfortable with putting my furniture in my personal belongings and pots. Is it legal? Is it any type of way that I’m able to get up at my lease

Not unless the lease provides for such. You likely have the right to refuse any cosmetic upgrades until the end of the lease, where you leave. THis interefers with the warranty of habitability and reasonable use. If there are habitability repairs made, such as hurricane issues, if they cannot be done inside of 7 days, you will need to retain a lawyer to send a "7 day letter" and then terminate the tenancy on the 8th day if the repairs are not completed.
