Stepdad Demands Rent—He Doesn’t Know I Own the House

Changing locks

Over the next three days, I hired a locksmith to replace all of the locks on the house. It was an important step to ensure that my stepdad couldn’t simply walk back in. The locksmith worked quickly and explained each lock’s new security features. I watched, feeling relieved with each turn of his instruments. This act strengthened my control over the house, making it a safer environment for me.
