And it's additionally worrisome because even though I use Schlage on my own residence my locksmith says they're easy to bump, too.So are you other LLs concerned about this?

One was a notice stating that the house had been re-keyed and secured, and if you needed assistance with the property of interested in purchasing it to call.

For example, when a land-lord has been notified that a door lock is broken and willfully neglects to repair it, the tenant may hire a locksmith and deduct the cost from the rent.

here's whats going to happen now, they'll show up Sunday afternoon and find out they can't get in the house (b/c the locksmith already showed up today to change the locks) and call me furious they can't get into MY HOUSE and demand I come there to let them in.

These people break in and rekey the property and then put on Craigslist etc. and rent out like they are the owner and take money.

Bring a locksmith and moving crew, the Constable will stand there hand on pistol until everything is out in the curb.

I need to ask the group if they have encountered HUD stating they need the buyer to re-key a property after close. 

You may want to add certain specifications, such as in the event of a lock-out, the tenant is responsible for obtaining a locksmith to gain entry to the unit without damage to the premises.  

It's a list of properties we are contracted to list for any one of the 18 banks we work with, that we are in the process of cleaning, re-keying and doing BPO's.I have several investors that I have given this too and have made several offers before the property is listed.

You also bring along a locksmith to change the locks.
