You're renting the place from someone. That gives you the full right to not let them in at all. And you plan to leave in three months anyway? Tell the landlord he can wait three months, or you will let him show it now for $500 per showing, or whatever the monthly rent is, per showing. That should be enough money to rent the truck and clear the room out. If he doesn't want to pay for access, he can wait three months. Get it in writing.
He might be thinking "this guy is a dick!", or he's fricking crazy!" who cares what he thinks, the crazier he thinks you are, the better it is for you, its better than some lame excuse about working on proprietary secrets, or room mate out of town, as was suggested up the thread. Maybe even tell him, $500 cash to you for signing the contract, PLUS one month credit for each 15 minutes of showing. The worst that can happen is he refuses, calls you a dick, and leaves you alone for the remainder of time. His choice. The ball is in his court

Rhino,
Your first sentence is full of fail. He DOES have to let the landlord in, if given proper notice ahead of time. The OP was saying that he was not given notice, but rather someone else was who doesn't rent/live on the property. Please don't give out bad advice. Refusing entry to the owner of a property is grounds for them to call a locksmith and let themselves in, or worse, the police.

And yours has even more Fail.
Call the cops and tell them you own rental property and the renter changed the locks and won't let you in and see what they say.
Until you file an eviction, it is posted on the door of the residence, and the date of said eviction comes up, the police will not do ANYTHING.
Wait, that's not true, if you as the homeowner show up at the property with a locksmith and attempt to gain entry without consent, then the police will do something, and that's arrest YOU, not him.
Look into it if you don't believe me.
ha ha
the lack of entry into the rooms is not a big deal. Buyers look at alot of houses when buying, especially in this market. The 2 locked rooms are not going to make or break the deal. They want to see the exterior, landscaping, kitchen, layout, etc.
I have bought 2 homes for my family, and we knew within 30 seconds if that was the house for us. If there was a locked door to a small bedroom, or study, it wouldnt matter. If we were going to put in an offer, we may ask to go back to see those two rooms but probably not.
I hope the OP is OK

hey bro if you have a access to you attic put them up there you will need to put wood down accross the rafters so they will not fall thru ceiling or plan on moving as soon as you can and growing in a house that has turned into a dog and pony show with realtors and noisy land lords is not a grow house its a free ride to jail if you can not move them out of sight .get rid of them its your call but do not let wanting to finish get you in trouble now aloha and good luck i hope you find away around your dilema but 500 plants or 1 plant is not worth getting busted its better to live free and grow another day in a safer place aloha CLS
I have to say that the attic is a very poor choice because that is a common place people want to look to inspect the roof at a showing. You can make an excuse to keep them out of a bedroom with a lock on the door and an out of town roommate, there is not really an excuse to keep them out of the attic or from just peeking their head up there.
If you HAVE to move them, a rental box truck is the answer. Buy plenty of big boxes.

good drown
the only way i see this turning out bad is if you were not home, and they somehow opened the 2 locked doors. with you being there, it should just take 60 seconds to show the house unless they know they layout and are already interested
Not directly related but....I always get a kick out of posts popping up here and then asking along the line
"Planning to grow in a rental, is that a good idea?"
Then when I reply telling the poster NO it NEVER is a good idea others pop in telling they have been growing in rentals for "so and so long" just fine.
Yeah it might go fine 9 out of ten times.
The one time it doesn't it is not worth the stress or potentially worse....see this thread.

One of the fucked up abilities apartment complexes / rental townhouse neighborhood owners have. The ability to take TOTAL strangers into YOUR apartment with YOUR furnishings and property to be showed off. I wouldn't want to know that a landlord decided to show off my bedroom/closest, bathroom to people I don't know. Its called personal privacy and everyone needs it.

Is this a lock that came with the apartment or was it added by you and your roommate?

Be real careful in this type of situation. A long time ago, maybe 18 years back a friend had a large grow in a room in his house, a house he was selling. When viewers came to look, he said it was storage and didnt have the key, no problem. Until one of the "possible buyers" who came to look at the house one day was actually undercover cops.
Now he was dumb as all hell, 100+ plants no odor control, you could smell that shit from the driveway sometimes! And too many people knew, the #1 downfall. Someone had tipped off the police about his grow after an argument and they found an opportunity to get a look for themselves. I think it was a couple days later they came home to find their crop burnt in the yard (guess thats how they did things in Alaska almost 20 years ago) they took all his equipment and they left the warrant on the table.
Not at all saying this is the same situation, but I would never want to have a large, or any kind of grow in a house/apt that is up for sale. You never know what kind of people are going to come into your home.
