It sounds like high school where they use to do suprise locker searches. But to demand/request keys to locks to safes, etc... that is a little over the line. I would definitely consult a landlord / tenent attny ASAP. HCB may own the house and had you sign a legally binding contract for the room but they do not however own your personal articles and private things in a safe.

I am only a paralegal, and a contract may be legally binding, but i would consult a alwyer regarding this and yoru school SOON!

What a sad sign of fraternal bonding.
