That's not true. In Austria at least, a landlord certainly can't enter a rented-out apartment unannounced.

I replied to a wrong comment and didn't notice. What I meant is that changing locks is entirely legal in EU.

I've never heard of an EU country where it would be legal to enter without ample warning time.

Yes, I replied to wrong comment, sorry. I meant that changing locks is entirely legal.
