I do know you need a lawyer experienced in landlord/tenant law. Preferably on the side of the tenant. Legal Aid, the bar assn. or other offices can recommend someone.

I don't now if the "roommates" had any right to lock you out, but your lawyer should be able to help. It may be a little late to involve the police, but if there was an assault or abuse, that's reason enough for them to be involved. You may have some recourse against the landlord, but that's part of the lawyer's job.

Hope you get it straightened out soon.
