My in-laws had a wedding, and I was there. My rent was due on the 15th, but I got back home late. Now my landlord has locked me out! I asked him to let me pay the rent on the 3rd, but he refused. I’m stuck here with my family. What can I do?

Your landlord cannot legally lock you out without following proper legal procedures. You should immediately approach the local police and file a complaint. You can also contact a lawyer to discuss your legal options and seek recourse for unlawful eviction.
