Can a landlord just change his mind after giving landlords consent in writing?

This depends on what he's changing his mind about, and whether your agreement is in the form of a lease or simply month-to-month tenancy. In a month-to-month agreement your landlord does have the ability to increase the amount of rent to charge you without waiting until the lease expires. In the case of this, he still must give you at least 30 days of notice before the next rent is due (or if the rent is by the week, a week's notice before the next rent is due). If he is changing his mind about giving your consent for repairs, after he has given your written consent, he has to write a letter revoking the consent he initially gave you. In the case of initial tenancy, once he accepts your money and issues you the key to your new home, he cannot change his mind about renting the property to you: you would have to be legally evicted. And, of course, if there is a lease involved, your landlord must wait until the term of that lease expires before any changes can be made to it, with proper notice of at least 30 days before the expiry of that lease.

Can landlord change locks on commercial building in Florida?
If the space is being leased and the tenant is current they really have no business doing so. They have the right to, but as long as they give the tenant a copy of the key they can do what they want. It is their property.
What happen en's when the landlord changes your lease without your consent?
It depends on what you mean by a lease: if a written lease is signed by both parties for a specific term, then the terms cannot be changed without mutual consent. Even if an oral lease any changes would have to be with your consent. If you do not consent to any change of the terms of the lease you can refuse to sign it and move out.
Can a former landlord charge the tenants to change the locks on the property?
No, a former landlord can't charge the tenants to change the locks on the property. All sorts of situations can happen between landlords and tenants when it comes to changing locks. Whether landlords change the locks or tenant changes them, both need to know what otherone can and cannot do. So all should know evrything before going to buy a property. I have some idea regarding Las Vegas Eviction Services of RocketEviction, which offers quick, efficient Nevada eviction services for apartment complex owners, high-rise condominium owners and other multi-family rentals in Clark County, Nevada.
Can my landlord lock me out of my apartment if I don't pay the altered amount of my lease?
If you have a legitimately signed and current lease with the landlord, and you weren't behind in your rent or had some other violation which broke the lease, and, assuming you haven't omitted any critical information (especially from that of the landlord's point-of-view), then, technically speaking, no, the landlord cannot change the locks or prevent you from entering the apartment. However, most landlords would not bother to change the locks or otherwise prevent the tenant from entering without a good reason. You need to discuss it with him/her or contact a lawyer.

Can a landlord change lease with out informing you?
No, you have to be notified IN WRITING of any lease changes 30 days (in most states) before changes are to take effect. A good landlord would ask his tenant to at least initial any lease changes. He cannot however raise your rent until your lease is up. When its up he can charge you whatever he wants. If he is a private landlord and not a gov program etc.
Does a landlord in Minnesota need to change the locks between tenants?
There is no law that requires this, but some landlords do it as a favor to new tenants (good customer service). I am not aware of any law that prohibits tenants from changing the locks themselves, but you would need to check the terms of your lease to see if you are permitted to do so (especially for apartments). If you would like your locks changed before you move into a rental location, insist that it is included in the lease before you agree to accept the terms of the lease. If the lease does not include the option, the landlord is under no obligation to change the locks.
Is a residential tenant required to provide a key to landlord?
If the landlord provided a key to the tenant, then the tenant must provide a key to the landlord. In fact, under most state laws the tenant may not change a lock without the landlord's permission and a duplicate key provided to the landlord.
Once you rent a single family residence and have a one year lease is it your right to change the locks on the house or should you ask for the landlord's permission?
You should ask the landlords permission for anything permanant that you do to his house. To avoid problems, read lease, check with landlord. Your lease probably has a clause about the landlord having the right to make "emergency" inspecitons, even if you aren't there. As a locksmith, I've never dealt with a landlord who didn't want a key to his house. As long as the landlord doesn't have to pay for it, most don't care if you change the locks as long as the quality isn't less than he had and he gets a key. As for changing the locks, do you mean instaling ew locks or rekeying the existing ones? If the lock is ok, it's a lot cheaper to have the key combination changed than buy new locks. Go back to the lease contract. Anything not specifically discussed in the lease contract is open for discussion. --------------------------------------------------------------- I too am a Locksmith (ALOA) and forget anything in any contract that says that the landlord must have a key. You, as a renter, are entitled to complete privacy rights. This means that you do not have to allow entry to the landlord without his or her prior notification as to a specific time and day. BUT.............If the landlord does not have a key and there arises a problem that could have been counteracted or lessened if the landlord could gain immediate entry (a burst water heater for example), you COULD be held liable. This would become a CIVIL Court case and you would still probably win. To sum it up....The landlord has NO right to enter your rented space. The landlord does NOT have the right to allow entry of the Police without your consent. This may vary in some states but as a rule of thumb privacy rights are universal. Y-THINK-Y
