Probation in criminal law is a period of supervision over an offender, ordered by a court instead of serving time in prison. In some jurisdictions, the term probation only applies to community sentences (alternatives to incarceration), such as suspended sentences.
When your landlord changes your door locks because you are behind on paying the rent, the landlord must give you advanced written notice of the proposed lock change AND a written notice at the time your locks are changed.
Is my landlord legally responsible for changing the locks when I move in or the last tenant vacates? Since I moved into my new apartment about three months ago, I seem to be visiting the leasing office with some kind of issue every week. Now, I'm not one of those easily pissed off, likes-to-complain-about-everything kind of tenants. This time, however, I feel I have a very serious problem that needs to be addressed that goes. I have been receiving mail at my new address for about a month now. My boyfriend in AL sent me a small package via USPS.
