I believe it’s fairly common for lease agreements to speak to this issue. Does the lease agreement for said property have a condition that covers keys/controls and/or Landlord access (i.e. changing locks without notifying landlord may be considered failure to permit “reasonable access”).
My lease agreements contain language covering both Keys/controls and LandLord access. Failure to immediately notify and delivery new keys upon re-keying of locks would be a breach of the agreement and tenant would be in default if they fail to permit reasonable access to Landlord.
