If you have a written lease it should say what the landlord's rights of access are. Even without a lease 2 days' prior notice is considered reasonable. Of course you can't be locked out, at least legally. But locking yourself in may not work either. And refusing entry could on its own be grounds for eviction. Depends. See an attorney - you may need one anyway for the eviction.
