What Needs to Be True Before You Book
- [ ] The Landlord and Tenant Board process is fully complete, or the tenant left voluntarily
- [ ] If enforcement was needed, the Sheriff has actually carried it out
- [ ] The unit is currently, genuinely vacant
- [ ] Nothing about the eviction is still being disputed
If all four are true, we can help right away. If any aren't, the lock change has to wait — only the Board and the Sheriff's office have the actual authority to enforce an eviction in Ontario, and a landlord who moves ahead of that process takes on real legal risk.
What the Service Actually Involves
Once the checklist above is genuinely satisfied, we assess every lock connected to the unit — main entry, secondary doors, and any garage or storage space tied to the rental, whether downtown or closer to the waterfront. Hardware still in serviceable shape gets rekeyed; anything worn out gets replaced. You leave with a fresh, documented set of keys.
Why This 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 assume — a partner, a roommate, someone who helped with the move. Treating rekeying as standard between every tenancy, rather than reserved for contentious ones, is simply the safer default.
Typical Situations That Bring Pembroke Landlords Here
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 before a new tenant moves in.
What We Need From You
Confirmation that the unit is genuinely, legally vacant before we begin any work. We're not positioned to give legal advice — for questions about your specific standing, a paralegal, lawyer, or the Landlord and Tenant Board is the appropriate resource.
