anyone? I have tenants moving into my property requesting locks to be changed. Am I required to do this or can I say they have to pay if they want to do it?
You don't have to as far as legalities go. I had one tenant ask and I changed one but said they'd have to pay for the other. It had a security screen so they didn't worry.
Depending on what types of locks you have though you could buy a new tumbler set and change them. Keep the existing ones and if you need to change them again or in another property you have them.
We manage hundreds of investment properties and generally we do not change the locks between tenancies. In the rare case that a new tenant requests new locks, generally the landlords oblige.
