There's no law that prevents it. Some leases have a provision prohibiting changing the locks, but don't expect a judge to enforce it. The prudent landlord would not want a key, since he shouldn't be entering without the tenant's permission anyway, and, preferably, with the tenant there. If he doesn't have a key, the tenant cannot accuse him of unlawful entry. So, yes.
