Yes. But only in very limited situations.
In an emergency situation (fire, water pipe burst, etc.), they may enter without notice, as may the fire department or police department.
During an eviction, they may (not sure) be able to enter to show it, but usually only if you agreed to that, and they give you "reasonable prior notice."
Generally, the landlord may enter during normal business hours (e.g. 8AM-5PM, Monday-Friday) to show it to applicants, do agreed repairs or other allowable actions.
They must give 24 hours written (I believe) notice.
When tenants and landlords get along, a phone call is enough and hours are flexible.
Some cities have other housing laws that may apply.
There are also cases in which the landlord gives 24-hour notice and the tenant still refuses to let them in. They can be immediately notified of eviction, but the landlord has no legal right to enter those premises if it will result in a breach of the peace (e.g., getting punched in the face).

No, a landlord cannot enter a tenant's rental unit without proper notice and permission in California. Generally, landlords must provide at least 24 hours' notice before entering the rental unit, unless there is an emergency situation that requires immediate entry. Tenants have the right to privacy in their rental units, and landlords must respect this right.

No, not always. In cases of emergency (fire, major water leak), they may enter without delay.

They would need permission otherwise but a tenant can't refuse a justifiable entry such as coming in for scheduled maintenance or showing the apartment when the tenant is leaving or being evicted.

Under what conditions can a landlord lock out a tenant?
Probably. A landlord has no right to enter without the tenant's permission, and being in the unit without the tenant present - even with the tenant's permission - is usually a bad idea. Therefore, if only the tenant has a key, the landlord is actually protecting himself from some liability. If the tenant changes the locks, he should save the original lockset, and put it back when he leaves.
