Hiya, I'm off there in three weeks but I'm just worried about the house and its security. Thanks Nige.

Hiya all, I am looking for advice on the legality of changing locks on my house. I currently own a property in Niort. I had a letter from CAF this week following an enquiry I made and they told me my tenant has moved out: Monsieur, Vous nous avez signalé que Monsieur XXXXXXXX n'était pas à jour du paiement de son loyer. Nous ne pouvons donner suite à votre signalement car Monsieur FABIEN FOUQUART a quitté le logement. Restant à votre disposition, He hasn't given notice and he has been a very bad tenant. I cannot get over to the house any time soon but would like to get the lock changed. I contacted a locksmith but he siad he would only do the job if I was there to meet him. Is it possible to sort this out from the UK? I guess it may come down to proving that I am the owner before any work can be done? Thank you in advance, Nigel.
