Can A Landlord Charge For Re-keying Property Even Though We Returned All Keys?
7 Comments | Posted by admin in Locksmith
According to my lease, if we return all keys, we will not have to pay for a locksmith to re-key the home. The landlord says they made an amendment last year stating that all properties will be re-keyed when the tenant moves out at the tenant’s expense. I resigned my lease less than a year ago and nothing was mentioned to me and we had not signed anything stating we acknowledge this change. And at my move-out inspection, nothing was said about the re-keying.
We are military and wondering if I should bring this to JAG???

Can A Landlord Refuse To Let You Re-key Your Apartment?
6 Comments | Posted by admin in Locksmith
I am moving into a new place at the end of the month. I am going to ask permission to have the apartment re-keyed. I will offer to pay for it and of course I will give the landlord copies of the keys. I would just feel more comfortable knowing that the door has new keys. Can he refuse to let me?
