In Canada if there has been several break-ins in the complex then the landlord has the right to change ALL locks, but the tenants must be notified and given a new key. The only other reason would be if the tenant has not paid their rent, then the landlord can change the lock on that particular apartment with the contents still in it until the tenant pays the rent. In the US a landlord cannot use self-help to hold the renter's personal property for rent due, unless it was so stated in the rental agreement. Before a landlord can seize property and lock a delinquent tenant out of the residence they must use due process of law, receive a Writ of Possession and serve the delinquent tenant with the writ. If the tenant does not recover his or her belongings within the specified time limit, the landlord can consider them abandoned and dispose of them in whatever manner chosen. If the landlord wishes to remove the property from the residence before the set time expires he must secure those items in a storage area.

Can a landlord change the lock on your door while you are still living there?

The laws regarding the renting of a storage locker is not the same as residential landlord laws. In a residential setting a landlord may not change any locks whatsoever, without proper eviction procedures followed. If you have a storage locker that is part of the property you are renting from a residential landlord it is subject to that same rule. If your landlord also owns a storage facility from which you are also renting a storage locker, and you owe him rent for your residential property, he may not change the locks of the storage locker as long as you are current on your storage locker rent. If the rent of the residential property includes the rent of the storage locker as part of the rent altogether, he may not change the locks of the locker, whether the locker is located on the property or a separate facility. If you are renting a storage locker, whether the owner of that facility is also your residential landlord. then you are subject to the regulations regarding the rent of a storage locker. If you are behind on that rent the owner may charge you late fees and then may place one of his own locks on your storage locker to lock you out of your locker until all fees and rent are kept current. After a certain time the facility owner may seize your locker and auction off any contents therein.

Do you have the right to change your apt locks in the state of PA?

If you are living in a property owned by another business or person, no. You have to contact the property owner and have them change the locks (or provide you with the new locks so you can change them). If you are the property owner and there is a person renting you can only change the locks after you've notified the renter about the change in writing. If you have evicted the renter and they refuse to leave/turn in keys or there is no renter then you can change the locks at will.
