I'm of the strong opinion that this ought not to be a thing. Even if you stop paying rent, they can kick you out, but there's a process they need to follow (in Australia anyway).
These software locks means they can do whatever they want, even if they're in the wrong, and then you're shit out of luck until you can take them to court, if you even have the time to do it...
It's so wrong, because of the power imbalance I really think this kind of thing should be railed against at all costs.
Google should not install this shit by default, and sneakily as well.
You can also just root your droid anyway.
