If your landlord didn't follow the correct procedures for evicting a tenant and changes the locks, this is an illegal eviction. You can call the police and they will force your landlord to let you in. Hotels, motels, and other group homes and institutions are exempt from this rule.

Do you have the right to change your apt locks in the state of PA?
If you are living in a property owned by another business or person, no. You have to contact the property owner and have them change the locks (or provide you with the new locks so you can change them). If you are the property owner and there is a person renting you can only change the locks after you've notified the renter about the change in writing. If you have evicted the renter and they refuse to leave/turn in keys or there is no renter then you can change the locks at will.
Is it legal for tenant in pa to change locks without permission or notification tenant will not return call home needs repairs and tenant is going to sue just found out about repairs last week?
You can countersue for eviction and keep the security deposit if the tenant has not followed proper procedures for notifying you, the landlord, of repairs that are needed. Generally locks may not be changed by the landlord or tenant without the other's permission and the reconciliation of the keys to the new lock. But this must be so stated on the lease in order for it to be enforced.
