Landlord wants to force out tenant by changing locks

Unilaterally locking out a tenant is never permissible under California law. Here's how to remove a tenant legally.

Question: I have rented a room in my house to a woman and her young daughter. After she moved in, she changed the lock on the door to her room without my consent and had male companions in her room who were very noisy and disruptive. If she continues to make me uncomfortable in my own home, can I just change the locks to force her to leave? If I can't get rid of her, can I at least force her to give me a key to her room?
