Arnprior's rental market tends to be smaller and more personal than a big-city landlord's — often a single unit or two, sometimes a basement suite in a home the landlord lives in themselves. That closeness doesn't change what's legally required once a tenancy ends and the locks need attention.
The Legal Line That Matters Most
An Ontario landlord has no legal authority to change a unit's locks in order to remove a tenant. That belongs entirely to the Landlord and Tenant Board, and physical enforcement of an eviction order is carried out solely by the Sheriff's office. Doing this independently — a self-help eviction — is a genuine legal risk, however reasonable the situation might feel.
This service applies only once that process has concluded, whether through Sheriff enforcement or the tenant voluntarily leaving.
What We Actually Do
We check every lock connected to the unit, including any secondary suite entrance if that applies. Serviceable hardware gets rekeyed; anything too worn gets replaced. You leave with a fresh, documented set of keys.
Why This Matters Even for a Small Rental
A single-unit rental in a smaller town like Arnprior can still accumulate more keys than a landlord expects over the years — family helping out, a previous tenant's friend who never returned a copy. A rekey resets that regardless of scale.
Common Situations
A unit recovered through completed Board and Sheriff process. A tenant who left on schedule at lease end. A unit abandoned without notice. Preparing a secondary suite for a new tenant.
Before We Schedule
Confirmation the unit is legally vacant. A paralegal or the Landlord and Tenant Board can advise on your specific situation — we're not able to.
