renting apt and changing locks?
If you rent an apt. in a house, are you allowed to change the locks? Do you have to give the landlord a key if you do?

You should be able to change the locks because the previous tenants could have given their key to everyone in the world....it's always a good idea to give the landlord a key so that in the case of an emergency it is easily accessed.

Re: renting apt and changing locks?
General leases say that a tenant must give the landlord keys to all locks.
I think the landlord needs to have access to his/her property for emergencies.
I think you can change the locks and give the landlord copies of the keys. I had to do this once in an emergency.

My landlord wouldnt allow me to change the lock to the door. It didnt bother me considering the previous tenant was her neice. I wasnt worried about a problem
