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.
No, a landlord cannot change the payment method for rent without providing prior notice to the tenant.

Yes--with the tenant's permission. A consent on a rental application will fulfill this requirement.
No. Assuming the tenant permitted the plumber to enter the property, it would not be trespass. The plumber could not collect fees from the homeowner if the tenant authorized the work.
