1. Hold his security deposit 2 change the lock and black Ball him when he needs a reference 3 find out where he lives send him a bill ; take him to court if he does not pay you.

something new that I found is a conbination dead bolt. You program a 4 number code into it and when they leave you take thier code out. It is a good sturdy lock and it lights up at night. You dont ever have to worry about getting keys back and you will put your own code in for your self. you never have to worry about being locked out either. I believe it will hold about 10 or 20 codes. It take 5 min. to program. I love mine. I got it at Home depot.
