Tenant states he will change the locks

I have a tenant that has decided he will change the locks.  I notified him he isn't allowed to change the locks by the lease and if there is something that makes him feel unsafe I will gladly change the locks for him.  My questions run from is there something I am missing?  he has only been in the property 3 months and I have had more trouble from him than 2 year tenants.  Should I evict him for lease violation, yes he has done other things like attempt repairs of things he though should work better and broke them.

Offer to change locks for him. Then charge for materials and time.

If he changes looks you need to get a copy and you can charge for the change back to his sec deposit when he moves out.
