    The landlord’s trying to pull a fast one.

    Like others have written: small claims court.

    Rekeying locks costs money for the locksmith to come out.

    Locksmiths are not cheap. $200 sounds about right.

    Brian, cleaning the carpets and re-painting cost money as well. The OP asked if the landlord is allowed to charge him for that. In the case of the first two, the are amortized over 3 and 5 years I believe. Locks I don’t know but I’m guessing that would fall under normal wear and tear.

    Your (prior) landlord probably read this recent article in the UT:

    Can landlord deduct from deposit for unreturned key?

    http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2011/may/19/can-landlord-deduct-deposit-unreturned-key/

    The lawyer guy says “Since you have a copy of the key, the landlord should have to actually change the locks to protect against liability in case of a future unauthorized entry by a key. That means you will have to pay for the costs of rekeying the existing locks.”
