A friend of mine went through this on his house. He lost his job when the market fell out, and lost his place. The bank kicked him out, then let him move back in so the house didn't sit vacant. After teh house went to auction 3 times after he was kicked out again, the bank purposely messed up some of the foreclosure papers so the house didn't go to them legally. Then when the property taxes and cleanign fees piled up from the county and city, they turned around and said it wasn't theres but his, and they came after him for over $15K in fees on a house they had forclosed on 2 years before. It is all a game to them, and they are playing it hoping to worm out of liability and fines in case something happens to the house.

By changing the locks they have, in the eyes of the law, taken legal possession of it.

By giving him a key haven't they given it back?.... seems he could now change the locks again.

Yes, he could change the locks again, but it would be illegal. The difference being that if he were to change the locks, it would be without their permission to do so. When Joe gave them the keys, it was understood that he was giving them control of the property and the ability to legally change the locks. Whereas, by giving Joe the keys, they have implicitly given him permission to visit/enter the premises, but they have not given him control.

MJ - Why did you ask for a key? That just slowed down the process.
