No - in almost all circumstances the landlord needs to obtain a Court Order to change locks or evict. It is a criminal offence to evict or change locks without a Court Order.

No, your landlord should give you a 24 hour notice verbally or in writing before visiting your apartment. If he is coming to show the apartment to a potential tenant, he can come between 9am to 9pm. If it is to make repairs, he can come between 7am and 7pm. And if it is an urgent repair, he may come with no notice at any time.

If you have notified your landlord that you (or a child living with you) is a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking and that you want your locks changed, and if the landlord refuses to change the locks or takes a long time:

If you are renting and if you (or a child living with you) has been the victim of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking, you have the right to have your locks changed promptly. Notify your landlord that you (or a child living with you) are a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking and that you want your locks changed.

Unless it is an emergency, no landlord can enter an apartment, absent a lease provision or a court order. Pursuant to G.L. c. 186, §15B, a lease for residential property can provide that the landlord may enter to inspect the premises, to make repairs or to show the same to a prospective tenant, purchaser, mortgagee or its agents before the termination date of the lease.

The tenancy agreement states that locks must not be changed without the specific agreement of the Landlord. You must not change the locks yourself without permission. A copy of the new key must be provided to the Landlord and the agent.

NO. A landlord is required to give you written notice 24 hours in advance. In most cases, your landlord can only enter your home between 8a.m. and 8p.m. However, the law does allow your landlord to enter your place without notice if there is an emergency or if you agree to let her/ him in. If your landlord continues to enter your place without proper notice or for reasons unrelated to the rental and upkeep of the apartment or house, this may be harassment.

People who file for bankruptcy are entitled to certain immediate protections from certain legal actions -- part of what is called the "automatic stay" effect of a bankruptcy filing, because many potential legal actions against the filer are stopped (known as "stayed" in legal terms). But as of October 17, 2005, when the new bankruptcy laws took effect, some of these protections have been eliminated. One key change is that filing for bankruptcy no longer delays or stops eviction actions.

In order to withhold your deposit, the landlord must notify you in writing within 30 days of the end of your lease of his or her intention to impose a claim on the deposit. The language required in this notice is very specific and is specified in Section 83.49(3), Florida Statutes. If the landlord fails to properly notify you, he loses the right to withhold your deposit.

The owner of a rent stabilized building is required to send you a lease renewal between 90 and 150 days before your existing lease expires. You then have 60 days to accept the lease renewal offer. If you wait longer than 60 days the landlord can refuse to renew your lease and could move to evict you after the lease expires. For more information on lease renewal in rent stabilized apartments see the fact sheet.

Yes, Yes, Yes, not only are you protecting your assets, but you are also protecting the ex-employee. If you have a problem and you did not change the locks, who do you look at? You cannot narrow down the list of suspects to only those in your employ. If you change the locks then you can eliminate the ex-employees as suspects, and concentrate on current key holders The answer is YES! Everyone has someone that they trust with their house keys, this does not mean you can trust them.
