Laws current as of October 22, 2025 What if the landlord doesn’t replace my lock?
If the landlord does not replace your lock as required by this law, you can change the lock yourself. Your new lock has to be at least as good as the old lock. You must tell the landlord that the lock has been changed and arrange to give the landlord the new key or entry code.1
Note: It does not matter if your lease says that you cannot do this – this law applies even if the lease says it does not.1
