Absolutely not: a landlord must follow eviction procedures in their state, which usually means filing the proceedings with their local court and getting a judgment and an order for possession of their property.

Absolutely, positively, unequivocally, NO, you cannot. An illegal lockout will be more costly for you than the tenants missed rent payment. Doing so can result in a return of security deposit, fines, and in some municipalities, you can be arrested for locking out a tenant.
