That may be a criminal act in your jurisdiction. My local laws allow the landlord access, but the landlord needs to provide 48h notice of the inspection (with a list of specific exceptions for emergency work, mostly around plumbing and electrical work) and cannot bar the tenant from being present during the inspection.

- TomMarius 7y agoYes, I replied to wrong comment, sorry. I meant that changing locks is entirely legal.

- ginko 7y agoThat's not true. In Austria at least, a landlord certainly can't enter a rented-out apartment unannounced.
