In most states this is illegal. Unless this is a hotel/motel property, duly licensed as such, landlords are not allowed to lock tenants out of their rental units without due process in court.

That depends on the state. Usually, no.
Can a court deem a child unfit for society and put him in lock down?
Yes.
What do when you paid your rent and some tries to put you out and removed your name from the lease?
Explain this all to the judge when you go to court. And, as long as you up by the terms of the lease, and then there's no reason to be put out. If as such this happens to you, then challenge it in court. In most states, the landlord should be aware that if he or she illegally evicted you, your landlord could be liable for up to three times the amount of rent.

If your tenant is in default of the lease does the landlord have to right to change the locks?
Matters such a locks are usually covered in a written lease. If it's not covered or if there is no written lease you probably can. BUT, you must give the landlord a key. The landlord has the right to enter in an emergency and upon reasonable notice to the tenant to inspect the premises. Keep in mind that landlord / tenant relationships without a written lease are generally governed by state law, so the conclusion may differ from state to state. When I was a landlord, there was an option to change the keys for a tenant. I had it done at my cost and held a key. Most locksmiths will not change the keys if you do not own the home. In many commercial leases the tenant is EXPECTED to change the locks and the landlord may not want to even have a key. For example, when renting a self-storage unit, the tenant would typically add his or her own lock to the unit. Upon default or emergency, the landlord would simply break the lock to gain entry, then put on a new lock.
Can your landlord mandate swimsuits in the pool area?
It would depend on if there is a code of conduct / dress code stipulated in the rental agreement. But as the landlord he/she can put up a sign stating swimsuits must be worn. Different counties, states have their own decency laws and if you decided to fight the landlord in court it comes back to the judge and whether they sleep with a bible or not.

If the state allows self-help a court order is not necessary the one exception being public funded housing, such as a Section 8.
Can a landlord evict a guest for a noise complaint if the tenant was causing the noise?
Yes. If a tenant is not in the habit of making a lot of noise then the landlord would not have much grounds to evict them. However, if a tenant is a problem for other renters, how a landlord evicts someone depends on the state in which he lives. Usually, a landlord could evict a person even if they have a lease for violating city codes for noise. A landlord would be wise to put such stipulations in their leases. This is based on the number of complaints the police receive concerning the noise or the number of complaints a landlord receives. In some states, all a landlord has to do is send a registered letter to the tenant notifying them of the complaint and that they are on notice to cease and desist or face eviction. If the tenant continues to bother others with their noise, then the landlord can notify the Sheriff's Department to evict the tenant. Of course this will not prevent the tenant from taking the landlord to court. This is why the landlord needs to keep good records and copies of police reports concerning the tenant to use in court.
Can a renter put a lien on a landlord's house for money owed for yard work?
You can seek a judgment and if successful the court will grant a lien. However, you will need to furnish proof to the court that the landlord agreed to pay you for the work and that he is in breach of that contract. Proof would be a written contract or witnesses that can testify to his promise to pay you. You would need to prove that you performed the work. Before and after photos would be helpful.
Does my landlord need to install a bathroom sink?
All bathrooms must have sinks inside them. If there is not one, your landlord will be required to get one put in for you.
