Could you please clarify the lock-out? If he had not finished moving his belongings out of the unit or surrendered his keys, why did you decide that he had surrendered the unit and that you could change the locks with his property still inside?
There was no lockout. The locks were not changed. He was not locked out. That was the story he tried to tell the police. Doesn't make it true. It was his excuse as to why it was broken into.
We do not change locks, we did not lock him out. Ever. He has the keys. Always did.
As I said, he texted us afterwards stating he had the keys, but was too busy to come to the unit and let his assistants in.
In fact, his stuff is still there, the door is still broken, and he is asking us to rent a uhaul, load it ourselves, and deliver his belongings to his new house for him and promises to pay us when we get there. Otherwise he won't move it and he'll make us get a court order for possession of the apartment.

Can he really do this?
