Re: Deceased Landlord

There is no reason you should not be allowed to change your locks provided that you change the locks back, or provide your landlord with a key at the end of your tenancy.

Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can e-mail me for more information about low cost face-to-face, on-line, or a telephone consultation with a lawyer in our office.
