I think anytime you sign something you should get a copy of it. But you should check. But I think you should. I have tenant in San Antonio but I always give them a copy of the lease. If you find out That you should get a copy then you can hold your rent until he gives you one. But be careful because if he has a key he could change your locks while you aren't there. But you can be crazy and change the locks first then hold your rent until you get the copy. Be careful!

You are entitled to a copy! What kind of freak show landlord is that? Call your local housing authority/rent board for help because it sounds like he is an idiot.
Good luck!

Look for a new place. Things may get dirty. Just be prepared for major damage alright. Get a free consultation with a lawyer and ask are you entitled to a copy.

the owner has a concern. in lots of cases tenants do not return their keys while they bypass away, so the owner keeps a key. Then while the present tenant leaves without returning the biggest, he can basically make a key for the subsequent tenant. If he loses his replica and the tenant would not return the keys, he by the mailman will would desire to purchase a sparkling lock to alter the lock and throw out the previous lock. He probably made a mistake and gave you his final key. I doubt that he's drawn to what's on your mailbox.

You are required by law to receive a copy and in most states that is due you before move in.

he is wrong. You are entitled to a copy and you should have gotten one when you signed it. Tell him if he doesn't give one to you then you are going to tell his mom.

Your new landlord sounds like he's going to screw you at every opportunity. If there's any advocacy group for renters, ask them for help.
