Check your lease — most landlords allow it as long as they get a copy of the new key. Rekeying is usually the better option for renters because it resets access without changing the hardware (so you don't have to swap it back when you move out). If your landlord says no to lock changes, rekeying is often still allowed since the lock itself stays the same. Either way, get it in writing. We can coordinate with your landlord if needed.
