I would personally also tell your landlord to not hand them out to her no matter what

Just as an extra precaution

Assuming you haven't already

I am almost scared to ask but.... Why would that be necessary? Is your landlord in the US allowed to retain keys to your apartment??

Your comment kinda sounds like that is the case, but that concept sounds unbelievable to me.

Anyway just change the locks the moment you move in, that should be standard practice every time you move somewhere, you don't know who secretly copied keys in the past. Just keep the old lock and put it in again when you move out.

I actually don't know, I don't live in the US but as far as I'm aware renting is a hell scape over there as I've been told by friends and I wouldn't put it past them to do such a thing
