It is unclear what you mean by "force." Based upon the loan documents, there may be civil penalties for acts that hinder the lender's ability to protect their lien or sell the property. But, in a general sense, the property belongs to the owner/investor until the foreclosure. The owner controls who can come onto the property or what they may do, while they are there.
Good luck
