That depends on the laws of your state. I suggest you repost your question, indicating which state the property is in.

Can a landlord lock you out if you owe rent?
No. (not in California, at least) They can evict you but there is a legal procedure for that and it does not start with being locked out. Aside from your legal rights, understand that paying rent is your responsibility and it is very unfair to live there and not pay so have some sympathy for your landlord.
It is against the law for the landlord to ask for first and last months rent to someone who is renting?
Massachusetts statutes allow a landlord to collect, at the beginning of a tenancy, the first month's rent, the last month's rent, a security deposit, and a key fee. Most states are similar.
Can a landlord rent a property as is meaning that the property has leaks and is obviously in need of repairs but the landlord is willing to rent it for very little?
You can do it, but you have to notify the tenant of all problems. One good option is to rent the place to someone who is willing to do some repairs to it in exchange for $$ off the rent. I rented a pretty shabby place a few years back and did repairs to the apartment, and the landlord gave me the cost of all materials off the rent. Great way to fix it up and still rent it out.
What are your rights if the building where you are renting the apartment is foreclosed?
If your property is foreclosed, either you have the same landlord until the property actually changes hands, or you have a new landlord who can exercise his own rules, including evictions. If your landlord still has control over the property he can still collect rent, and he can still evict you if you don't pay it. When the new landlord takes over you must follow that landlord's instructions for rent payment or vacating the premises.
Can your landlord raise your rent because you got married?
yes your landlord can.
Can you charge roommate more for rent than the landlord?
No, as a roommate, you cannot charge your roommate more for rent than what the landlord has set. The rent amount is determined by the landlord or the lease agreement, and it is not within your rights to charge a higher amount without the landlord's permission.
What is opposition between a tenant and landlord?
A landlord is generally a person owns property for rent. A tenant is someone who rents property from a landlord.
Can someone filing for bankruptcy list their landlord as a creditor if they are behind on their rent?
Yes
Is it illegal to have your tenants pay rent to another individuals bank account while you are going through foreclosure and not making mortagage payments?
Until the foreclosure sale happens, the tenant owes the rent to the landlord. What is happening between the landlord and tenant is really none of the tenant's business. And, yes, a landlord can certainly ask the tenant to pay the rent to someone else, acting as an agent. However, the tenant would be within his rights to say, "No, I'll only pay to the landlord."
Can a landlord harass you for rent when the rent isn't even due?
A landlord cannot legally harass you for rent if your rent is not in arrears.
If someone is residing in your home with you does that make them a tenant?
Not unless they paid some rent to the landlord.
What are the legal rights for housing rent?
You do have some legal rights when renting a house. The house should be clean and liveable, the landlord should tell you when he is coming over to fix the house, the landlord cannot have the locks changed.
Can i rent a room from somebody other than the landlord?
Basically anyone you rent a room from IS your landlord. Now, if you're talking about renting a room from someone who happens to be renting from a landlord, it depends on whether that landlord allows the tenant to rent a room to someone else (this is called subletting). I would be very careful about renting a subletted area from a renter. As a subletted renter you dont' have any rights as you would if you were a normal renter. The actual landlord may not allow the renter to sublet, and the renter could be kicked out, as can you!

What kind of judement do you get from a landlord for back rent?
Your landlord can evict you and sue for back rent.
