Just as a little heads up here. Getting a locksmith to do the lock change is all fine and dandy, but any carpenter could and should be up to handling that sort of job easily. Trust me on this, changing a lock is not rocket science and a simple night latch can be changed in 15 minutes tops.
In my own personal experience, reputable locksmiths tend to have a very inflated price tag for their services.... this also extends to their opinion of themselves as well.
But not all tenants have the ability to do diy, despite the fact that they tell you they do, so its my property, my rules, a locksmith that's it. I'm a good landlord, so tennants tell me, I respond to all problems, change carpets on a regular basis & decorate before each new tenant takes over.
I also contract as a gardener for a big letting agent & have seen what some other landlords do & how they treat there tenants(their lively hood !)but have seen first hand how some tenants treat the properties they rent, nuff said.

That kind I think the landlord could easily do himself. If it's a mortice lock or a yale lock though

If it were my tenant it wouldnt be a problem if they asked me first and gave me a key
