It depends on the term of your lease. If you had signed a one year lease, an additional year may be offered at a higher monthly rate. If you had signed a longer term lease, the landlord cannot increase the rent during the course of the lease unless specifically permitted in the lease.

Can a landlord change a contract after signed?
Only if there is wording in the contract which permits this, or if the law in your state permits certain changes without mutual consent. Otherwise, by tampering with the contract your landlord may have voided the entire agreement. You should probably check with a real estate or civil attorney.
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.

If your landlord sells your house can the new landlord raise your rent?
The new owner must abide by whatever agreement is in force. If there is a lease he cannot change any of the terms except by mutual agreement. If you are month-to-month he can only do this after giving you a proper written notice and anywhere from 30-90 days warning in advance, this allows you to either pay the new rental agreement, or look for another place to live. If this was not done, i'd recommend talking to a lawyer.
