Having no authority to order the harm, and having no plausible way to realize a tangible benefit from any harm that may occur, I fail to see how that is a criminal act.  At worst, that&#x27;s just a civil lawsuit against him.<p>And it would be a pretty strong affirmative defense if the landlord did not re-key all of his locks at the time of the eviction.<p>If this had happened in a physical place rather than on a web site, no one would be going to jail.  Someone would be sued in civil court, and be forced to pay no more that the amount that a locksmith typically charges to re-key all the locks on a property.<p>And if the landlord so much as left a window open, the defendant probably wouldn&#x27;t have to pay anything at all!
