Hi everyone
If a tenant in an HMO is arrested for domestic violence (not against another tenant) can the landlord change the locks. I realise tenant is allowed access but surely this needs to be an accompanied visit. He has made threats against tenants which are being looked at by the police as they don't feel safe in the house. Also one tenant wishes to leave asap and find another home, her six month tenancy finishes in less than a month. Her deposit is in DPS. Do you think she would have a problem leaving and getting her deposit returned ? Thanks for any advice :)
