Rental locks
What is the custom, can you change the locks when you move into the unit?
Maybe for houses is not a big deal, but for big city apartments, with the string of tenants, I think this could be quite a significant security risk. Content insurance will not replace whatever sensitive data one might lose.

Re: Rental locks
Thankfully the government, through legislation and Tenancy Authorities, allow you to change the locks(or just get them re-keyed), as long as you provide two copies of each keys to the agent and the agent is aware.
