Fiance and I broke up, she moved out...

What is the name of your state? PA

Is it legal for me to change the lock. She moved out last weekend when i wasnt here. She has come twice during the week to get her stuff. Some small things still here but nothing that she would need right away. Anyways, am i legally allowed to not let her in since she isnt paying for the house (which is in both our names) and she has moved her residense. What is the deal on this? Keep in mind we are not married, but the house is in both our names.

If you are going to enter into this with a person with which you have no legal relationship then cover your assets by going to an Atty!

Your Ex-Girlfriend has every right to enter HER house (as she is a co-owner). If she paid for anything else in the relationship she can claim you paid for the house and she paid <insert random cost here>.
