Landlord Locked Out Tenants!

[Jess Kinzel]

In the state of Montana , a renter fell behind on rent due to job loss.

The landlord sent them a letter saying they had 3 days to move out.

The tenants were trying to get help through some government agency..

On the 5th day the landlord changed the locks and locked the tenants out of the place while they were gone.

Is this legal to do?

[Michael Noto]

Obviously not legal, but can we talk about the stones on this landlord for a second? Wow. Don't tell me as a landlord you have never wished you could do this while in a fit of rage. To actually do it is a whole different level.
