A: Not just locked out, but the sheriff can come and remove your belongings and put them out to the curb too. If you need extra time to move out properly, you need to contact the landlord.

DO NOT ignore this. It just gets more expensive if you do. Seek qualified local legal help (many areas have tenant aid groups who can help for little or no cost) to insure you don't make this worse.
