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.
Notify your tenant that you intend to change the locks back at their expense and see if she does it on her own accord. If not, wait until Oct. 1, and change the locks back when the lease has ended. Or change the locks after she doesnât respond to your inquiry, and notify your tenant that you have done so.
