Barrhaven, ON's growth has brought a lot of newer rental properties into the area, from townhouses to single-family homes leased to tenants, and landlords here eventually face the same practical need as anywhere else: making sure a unit is actually secure once a tenancy has ended.
The Legal Context, First
A landlord cannot legally change locks to remove a tenant or enforce an eviction independently. That process runs through the Landlord and Tenant Board, and physical enforcement is handled by the Sheriff's office. Attempting to bypass this — changing locks while a tenant still legally occupies a unit — carries real legal consequences for a landlord.
This page covers what comes after that process, once a unit is confirmed legally vacant.
The Service Itself
Once a unit is legally empty, we assess every entry point tied to the property, rekey existing locks so previous keys stop working, replace any hardware that's worn or damaged, and hand over a fresh set of documented keys.
Why This Matters Even for Newer Homes
A newer rental property doesn't mean fewer keys in circulation — tenants still hand out spares to family, friends, or roommates over the course of a lease. A rekey resets that regardless of the home's age.
When This Typically Comes Up
A unit recovered through a completed Board and Sheriff process. A tenant who gave notice and left as expected. A unit abandoned without formal notice. Standard preparation between tenants.
Before We Schedule Anything
We need confirmation the unit is legally vacant before doing any work. If you're unsure of your legal standing, a paralegal or the Landlord and Tenant Board is the right resource — we're not in a position to advise on the eviction process itself.
