The question will be, How you will prove your tenancy in that house?
If you intend to go for some legal fight then break open the lock put by the landlord and re-enter the premises with your household goods.
But keep in mind, tenant remains a tenant and at some point of time the law itself will force you to vacate the premises even if your possession is saved temporarily with the help of law.
