Carleton Place has a good number of older rental properties near its historic downtown, alongside newer rentals in the subdivisions that have grown up around town. Landlords managing either eventually reach the point where a tenancy ends and the locks need genuine attention, not just an assumption that things are fine.
What the Law Requires First
A landlord in Ontario cannot legally change locks to remove a tenant independently. That authority rests with the Landlord and Tenant Board, and physical enforcement is carried out exclusively by the Sheriff's office. Bypassing this process — a self-help eviction — creates real legal risk.
This service applies only once that process has concluded, whether through Sheriff enforcement or a tenant voluntarily leaving.
What We Do
Every lock tied to the unit gets assessed. Serviceable hardware is rekeyed; anything too worn or damaged is replaced. You leave with fresh, documented keys.
Older Downtown Rentals Deserve Careful Handling
If the rental property is near the historic downtown, the hardware may be original to the home and worth a careful rekey rather than an automatic replacement. We assess what's actually there before deciding how to proceed.
Common Scenarios
A unit recovered through completed Board and Sheriff process. A tenant who left on schedule. A property abandoned without notice. Standard turnover before a new tenant.
Before Scheduling
Confirmation the unit is legally vacant. For your specific legal standing, a paralegal or the Landlord and Tenant Board is the appropriate resource.
