Is it illegal to lock out a roommate if they haven't been paying rent?

If that person is defined as a tenant per your jurisdictions definitions, which commonly define it as a person(s) who reside longer than x amount of days at residential dwelling is deemed to have declared tenancy, or those who receive mail at the address.
Therefore, if that roommate is defined as a tenant per your state laws, then changing the locks would constitute an illegal eviction and you can be sued. Non-payment is sufficient reason to give a notice to quit (an eviction notice) and begin the eviction proceedings, it's not okay to take the law into your own hands.
It can be quite costly.

Which is worse an eviction or broken lease?
An eviction definitely! With a broken lease, you are still paying your landlord the rent that you own him and will probably be paying a fee to break the lease. With an evicition, the renter probably has stopped paying the rent or has damaged the property or has been doing something illegal like growing marijuana on the property.
