Changed locks without notice - is this legal?

Posted by Victoria_471902 • February 24, 2026 • 6 comments

My landlord changed the locks on my apartment while I was away for a week. I returned to find I couldn’t get in. They said it's for 'safety reasons' but didn’t provide any notice. Is this a common practice, and what are my rights in this situation? Looking for guidance on how to address this.
