Many, if not most, leases specifically prohibit a tenant from changing or adding any locks without permission or giving keys to management. Managers/landlords must be able to enter in event of emergency

I've managed apartments for 12+ years and have had a handful of such emergencies that required immediate entry: a broken pipe leaking into downstairs unit, welfare check discovering deceased tenant, welfare check discovering tenant with a stroke needing EMTs, smoke detector going off when no one was home, etc.
