Yes, call the police immediately, then go to the Lands Tribunal in Jordan and file a complaint against the landlord. The worse the landlord can do is charge you a late fee. You have rights to the unit until the end of lease or the courts say otherwise. Stand up and use your rights as a tenant!
OP are you a contracted tenant?
Is the person you have been dealing with the owner of the property or a 'letting agent'?
These two things I'm sure will determine how far you can go with this.
In addition, legally it takes about 6 months to evict a tenant in HK, via the housing tribunal. Your landlord cannot exercise the law as he or she sees fit. That is what separates HK from the mainland.
Slumlord vs deadbeat... Pretty sure I know who will come out on top
Brilliant...This person goes to live in a dirt cheap place and has a hard time paying the rent and you think that he/she will fork out money to change the locks. Talk about not relating to the situation. For the record, I've lived in dozens of places and have never once bothered changing locks.
To the OP.
Are you legal in HK?
Are you renting a legal flat? With tenancy agreement, stamp duty, etc?
Some short-term serviced apartments run on different contracts - for example, if you lived at a hotel and didn't pay to extend, what rights do you have and what rights does the hotel have?
On a side note, call a locksmith to change the lock, your stuff is inside then it's your place. It is also a police matter.
