We recently rented out a house for one of our clients and were reminded of a new(er) Public Act. According to a summary on www.tenants-rights.org Public Act 97-470 requires all landlords to "change or re-key" locks of rental property when a renter moves out and a new renter moves in with a lease agreement.  Read more about the Act, exemptions and link to it HERE
