It is illegal for a landlord to deny access or prevent access to a tenant without having formally completed a legal eviction process. The tenant should contact local law enforcement for help with accessing their property if they are denied access illegally.
If the court agrees with the tenant, it will order a law enforcement officer to help the tenant get back in. If the court decides that the landlord knew (or should have known) that the lockout or other exclusion was unlawful, the court may order the landlord to pay the tenant up to triple damages or $500, whichever is greater, plus reasonable attorney's fees. Minn. Stat. 504.225 (1992)

This depends on what you mean by eviction notice. There are generally two types: the initial notice of 3 to 5 days by the landlord, or a summons for eviction.

This type of notice consists of: your name, the landlord's name, the number of days you have to pay or to move out, or otherwise face eviction proceedings; the actual date by which the rent must be paid - which is between 3 to 5 days, depending on your state, including holidays and weekends; the landlord's signature, and the address of the rental property.
