That's not true from my own experience or anyone else I've met's. Those locks are expensive. So long as you don't damage anything and replace the old ones when you leave, it's even perfectly legal as a tenant to change the locks (unless your lease forbids it). Why would the landlord worry about changing the locks unless they were going to move in themselves?

In the US it is illegal for a tenant to change the locks without the landlord's consent, and giving the landlord a copy of the key. The landlord owns the property, they have the right to inspect it (with certain restrictions like 24 hours warning).

edit: also, this thread is godawful, someone please gas it.
