What is the name of your state? Massachusetts
Mass has very strict and tenant friendly LL/tenant laws. I suggest you google it up (make sure it's a mass.gov site) and learn them. It boggles my mind how many LL don't bother to learn how to do their job when tenants will learn how to bleed every dime for LL ignorance.tenants at will gave notice to 30 day notice - removed door know and put lock on door and said will not leave for 2 months - can I remove the lock
Unless they call another locksmith...Lock smiths carry locks that by design cannot be removed with out special tools and this would prevent the tenant from changing the locks again
You need to talk to an attorney who handles landlord issues. It's pretty simple for a tenant to get nine months rent plus attorney fees from a landlord based on the way the law is written. (treble damages on three frequent violations)tenants at will gave notice to 30 day notice - removed door know and put lock on door and said will not leave for 2 months - can I remove the lock
