I can only answer for Massachusetts, but I think you can. The landlord has a right of entry, but he should get the permission of tenant, and the tenant has a right to be there at the time. If the landlord needs to get in during an emergency, perhaps he should be calling the police.

∙ 11y agoA landlord may not change the locks of a current tenant's door without the knowledge of that tenant. If it was the landlord's intention to remove the tenant, the landlord had to have underwent legal proceedings to have the tenant evicted before he can change the locks. If this did not happen, the landlord may be arrested in some states for what is known as illegal eviction.
