I wouldn't try that on a business premises...
If goods or equipment go missing/damaged or if it doesn't belong to the tenant the landlord could be held liable.
The legal owners of the goods can take legal action to recover such goods or make landlords pay for losses.
Also since the landlord removed the items without a court official present. It's very hard to prove if goods were accounted for during the eviction or if anything was stolen... nobody impartial has recorded what the items present are and what's gone missing.
It might work if the tenants don't know their rights, they would just pick-up and leave.
However doing so exposes landlords to legal action and could result in the landlord getting sued and paying for losses
JUST FOLLOW LAW
I think in his case where there's already a court order and grace period for him to move out and yet he haven't move out, i don't think this is applicable. If goods or equipment go missing/damaged or if it doesn't belong to the tenant the landlord could be held liable.

However if i was the landlord I would ask a lawyer to draft a contract in addition to the standard tenancy agreement that the landlord reserves the right to evict, cut supply, confisicate goods etc in the event that 3 months rental is not paid etc and the tenant must sign the contract if they want to rent the property. This contract will overule whatever tenancy agreement after three months of not paying.
If the tenant is those type who knows that he won't pay the rental,he will be hesitant to sign it and you as landlord will be able to filter those type of tenants automatically.
