Can a joint owner who does not reside in the home change the locks?

Yes, a joint owner who does not reside in the home can typically change the locks, as they have legal rights to the property. However, doing so may lead to disputes or legal issues with the other co-owners, especially if the change restricts access to them. It's advisable for joint owners to communicate and reach an agreement before making such changes to avoid potential conflicts. Consulting a legal expert may also be beneficial if there are concerns about ownership rights.
