A: Are you wanting to schedule a free consultation? You can call (501) 891-6000 Monday to set something up. It probably goes without says, but your landlord is not allowed to lock you out of your home. However, you should be aware that if you had not been staying in your home for awhile and if you were behind on your rent, then your landlord could claim that the property had been abandoned, and he would have the right to secure it.
