If your tenant has changed the lock without your consent, you can take the following steps:

  1. Send a legal notice: You can send a legal notice to your tenant asking them to restore the original lock. The notice should include details of the lock change and a request to restore it.

  2. File a complaint: If your tenant still does not restore the original lock after receiving the notice, you can file a complaint with the registrar of societies in your area. You will need to submit a written complaint with all the details, documentation, and proof to the registrar. The registrar will issue a show cause notice to the chairman and secretary.

  3. Approach consumer court: If your tenant still does not comply with restoring the original lock, you can approach the consumer court and file a complaint against them for deficiency in service.

It’s important to note that changing locks without permission is illegal and can result in penalties and legal action against the tenant.
