Is it legal for a landlord to withhold a key from his tenants until everyone has paid the first months payment?

Generally speaking, a tenant does not become such until he has been handed the keys to his dwelling. If the landlord has not received his first month's payment, this is the same as in not receiving the rent, which is payable in advance. Therefore the landlord does have the right to withhold the key.
