Re: Landlord/Tenant - Lock Out

If you were evicted after an action in landlord/tenant court you can go back to landlord/tenant court. If you were simply locked out of your apartment by the landlord without his filing in the landlord tenant court regain possession of the apartment you were illegally locked out and are entitled to regain possessio of your apartment. Go to the landlord tenant court for relief. You should call the court before you go.

Call me if you like.
