Before Booking, Confirm the Following
- [ ] The Landlord and Tenant Board process has been fully completed, OR the tenant left voluntarily
- [ ] If enforcement was required, the Sheriff has physically carried it out
- [ ] The unit is genuinely, currently vacant
- [ ] There's no active dispute still in progress
If all of these are true, we can help. If any aren't, the lock change has to wait — a landlord who changes locks before this point is taking on real legal risk, since only the Landlord and Tenant Board and the Sheriff's office have the authority to actually enforce an eviction in Ontario.
What the Service Involves
Once the checklist above is genuinely satisfied, we assess every lock connected to the unit — the main entry, secondary doors, garage or storage access tied to the rental, whether in Alliston or elsewhere in the township. Hardware still in serviceable condition gets rekeyed; anything worn out gets replaced. You leave with a fresh, documented set of keys.
Booking From a Distance
We're based in the Ottawa area, and New Tecumseth is a real drive from us. This isn't a limitation for this particular service, though — a post-eviction lock change is inherently scheduled work, never a same-day emergency, since it only happens once the legal process is already finished. We're glad to serve the township on that basis.
Why Rekeying Matters Regardless of How the Tenancy Ended
Even a tenant who left without any friction can leave more keys in circulation than a landlord would guess — a partner, a roommate, someone who helped with the move. Treating rekeying as standard practice between every tenancy, not a special step reserved for difficult cases, is simply the more defensible approach.
Typical Reasons Landlords Book This
Recovering a unit after full Board and Sheriff enforcement. A tenant who left on schedule at lease end. A tenant who appears to have abandoned the unit without formal notice. Routine preparation for a new tenant.
What We Need From You
Confirmation that the unit is genuinely, legally vacant before any work begins. We're not in a position to offer legal advice — for questions about your specific standing, a paralegal, lawyer, or the Landlord and Tenant Board is the appropriate resource.
