You should check your lease. In addition, generally a landlord has the right of access in an emergency. You need to check your local landlord/tenant laws.

In a commercial lease if the tenant changes locks does the tenant give a key to the landlord?

Yes. The building belongs to the landlord and needs the key in case of an emergency, or if a tenant abandons the property. Also, you should probably check with the landlord prior to changing locks. There might be a clause in the lease stating that only the landlord can change a lock, not the tenant.

If your tenant is in default of the lease does the landlord have to right to change the locks?

Matters such a locks are usually covered in a written lease. If it's not covered or if there is no written lease you probably can. BUT, you must give the landlord a key. The landlord has the right to enter in an emergency and upon reasonable notice to the tenant to inspect the premises. Keep in mind that landlord / tenant relationships without a written lease are generally governed by state law, so the conclusion may differ from state to state. When I was a landlord, there was an option to change the keys for a tenant. I had it done at my cost and held a key. Most locksmiths will not change the keys if you do not own the home. In many commercial leases the tenant is EXPECTED to change the locks and the landlord may not want to even have a key. For example, when renting a self-storage unit, the tenant would typically add his or her own lock to the unit. Upon default or emergency, the landlord would simply break the lock to gain entry, then put on a new lock.


What do you do when you have been renting a room for two days and the landlord has not given you keys to the front door or locks to your room?

I think that your landlord is scamming you, lost the keys, or either don't want to give you the keys. You better ask your landlord about whats happening. Also, if your landlord won't give you they keys within 5-7 you can sew them with all your right and power.


Do you get house keys when you sign lease or move in?

You get your house key(s) whenever you sign the lease. Normally your lease is not prepared until you've worked out your first month's rent and any deposits that are required. In most states the landlord must give you the keys to the front door of your house. If this happens you have the right to change any of the other locks without your landlord's permission, but not the lock of which your landlord gave you the key.

Do you still have to pay your landlord if house is for sale?

If your landlord is selling the house you have to continue paying the rent for it, whether to the old landlord or to the new one. Your old landlord will give you notice about when they have sold the property, and the new landlord will give you instructions on how to pay them the rent.
