Dear Jon,

I recently broke up with my good for nothing boyfriend, but realized he still has a key to my place. How do I get my locks changed without having to tell management that I gave out a key?

Thanks,
Kathleen, from Ohio

Ah yes, love lost and keys kaptured (Feeling very fast and loose with K’s today, Kan’t help it!). Anyway, how do you tell your management company to change the locks yet not divulge that little bit about the boyfriend? Easy! Play the victim… of a robbery! So maybe you don’t have to be that dramatic, but you can simply say that you lost a spare key you had. It was in a wallet that also had your address on it and, gee, if someone finds it you might as well just put out a welcome mat and kiss your valuables goodbye! Management changes the locks, you’re stuff is secure, and your little secret is just between you and me!

Happy Trails,
