it would be a good idea to speak to a landlord/tenant lawyer.....i had to do just that about 7 months ago (long story i can't post on a public forum) and it only cost me $125 and the problem was solved......they will be able to tell you (and the landlord) exactly how this should happen and what lines can't be crossed.

fyi if he comes over and changes the locks without your consent he will go to jail....real strict enforceable laws in this area...
