In order to know if your landlord broke any laws one would need to know more details about the offense committed by the landlord and the state in which you reside.

When you're renting an art studio and on a lease can you break your lease if your locked studio is being entered forcefully by other occupants and with a key by the landlord without your permission?

Yes, but seek legal counsel on how best to do it. If you don't have the protection of the law, the landlord could steal or destroy any and all of your property that he can. If it isn't the landlord breaking in, the landlord is legally obligated to provide reasonable assitance to help you protect your property.

What does a landlord have to pay to move you out if he wants to move back in?

Nothing. The landlord need only give you the notice required by law (20 days in WA) and then simply move back in. The exception is if you have a lease--in that case, the landlord must honor the term of the lease unless the landlord and tenant mutually agree to break the lease. In that case, the tenant is free to demand compensation of the landlord for the landlord's breaking the lease.
