Oregon Lockouts and utility shutoffs

Can a landlord change the locks or shut off utilities in Oregon?

If a landlord unlawfully removes or locks out the tenant, or willfully cuts heat, water, electricity or other essential services, the tenant may get an injunction to regain possession, or end the lease and recover up to two months' rent or twice actual damages, whichever is greater.
