Some agreements have a lock-in clause. The lock-in clause of a leave and license or lease agreement states that a tenant cannot leave the rented property or terminate the agreement for a specified period of time, during which the contract is âlocked inâ. This period is commonly referred to as a lock-in period.
This means that the landlord must keep the keys secure and locked up where they are less likely to be stolen, and should change the locks after a tenant moves out since the old tenants may have retained copies of their keys. If a key is left out negligently and then stolen, the landlord may be held liable by the tenant. Other steps that a reasonable landlord may be required to take include: Keeping the keys in a locked key box; Coding the keys so that they are not labeled by unit number; Keeping the code sheet and key box separate; Keeping a log of who checks out a key; Locking the room where the key box is kept; Setting all alarms in the office where the key box is kept.
