Are you guys crazy? As if you wouldn't change the locks when you move in! Whats the worst that could happen? Legally they have to give you notice to an inspection, by which time you need to move everything for the inspection. But so what? IF that happens, which we are talking worst case scenario here. It beats having some bitch landlord walk in and call the cops on you.
If you change the locks, the rental company cant complain because how the fuck would they know? By them admitting it they're saying they illegally tried to enter your house without permission. They wouldn't say anything. Changing a door lock is super easy these days. Just change it back before they get there. Can be done in 5 minutes.
Don't be a fucking moron, change the locks, JUST IN CASE.
Worst case scenario they get angry because you didn't ask permission, they wouldn't even evict you. But the reality is they never check. You pay rent on time and tell them how well you are doing at your white collar job and they wont come.
And if they complain about you changing the battery, just be away for when they want to do it. Or not available. Not hard. Or even just move shit out of site and let them in.
