Jim your advice is invaluable!!!

What should someone do if their employer has had the locks changed to deny you access to your leased apartment when your contract has expired or been terminated?

I'll take a wild stab at this one and say that that would constitute breaking and entering as how could they change the locks without being there without your permission?

If the locks were changed to deny you access, they are holding your belongings against your will. Isn't that theft, too?

Yup. And in that case AS WELL, you should be calling the police. This sort of thing is taken quite seriously and in spite of the fact that you may be the foreigner and the landlord may be Japanese, his/her actions will not likely be looked upon too kindly.
