This depends, "prevent you from leaving" has many connotations to it. The landlord cannot make you keep to the contract (the lease) but he can seek damages if you violate it. Your landlord cannot lock your door from the outside as to prevent you from legally leaving the property. This could be defined as false imprisonment. Prevent you from leaving the lease by offering you a reduced rent? Of course. But he can't force you.

Who would be responsible for repair of a pipe that froze and burst if the renter did not leave the faucets dripping and the water line froze then burst the landlord or renter?

Usually a lease will state something to the effect that a tenant is responsible for leaving faucets dripping when the temperature drops below a specific amount. I know that my lease does. It would then state that failure to do so may result in burst pipes, and that the tenant is thereby responsible. If the lease does not state this, then the landlord would have to prove negligence on the tenant's part, and that decision could be seen either way by a Judge. Better safe than sorry!


Can my landlord lock me out of my apartment if I don't pay the altered amount of my lease?

If you have a legitimately signed and current lease with the landlord, and you weren't behind in your rent or had some other violation which broke the lease, and, assuming you haven't omitted any critical information (especially from that of the landlord's point-of-view), then, technically speaking, no, the landlord cannot change the locks or prevent you from entering the apartment. However, most landlords would not bother to change the locks or otherwise prevent the tenant from entering without a good reason. You need to discuss it with him/her or contact a lawyer.
