Unless you have legal possession of the unit, you cannot change the locks. Period. Applies to all properties. Evictions are expensive, time consuming legal means of obtaining possession, but sometimes necessary when you have residents who will not move out of their own volition.

Lock Blocks?
Does anyone know if changing a unit's locks or placing a lock block on the door during the eviction process is legal? On a HUD financed property? The idea seems like it could eliminate charges being carried on through the process but also seems controversial. HELP!
