A real share of Kanata, ON's rental housing is genuinely newer construction, and landlords sometimes assume a recently built rental doesn't carry the same key-history concerns an older property would. That assumption doesn't actually hold up, since a rental unit's key uncertainty comes from tenancy turnover itself, not the age of the building.
Why a Newer Rental Still Needs This Between Every Tenancy
Even a tenancy that ended cleanly and on good terms can leave more keys in circulation than a landlord realizes, a partner who moved in later, a roommate, a friend who helped with moving and kept a spare. This is true whether the unit is decades old or was built five years ago, since the actual source of uncertainty is the tenancy itself, not the property's age.
What the Service Involves, Briefly
Assessing every lock connected to the unit, rekeying hardware still in good condition, replacing anything worn or damaged, and providing a fresh, documented set of keys for the new tenant or your own records.
Why This Is Easiest as a Standard Step, Not a Judgment Call
For landlords managing multiple Kanata units, treating a rekey as a routine part of every turnover, alongside cleaning and any repairs, removes the need to make a case-by-case judgment about whether a particular tenant seemed trustworthy enough to skip it.
A Note on Kanata's Tech-Adjacent Rental Market
Given how much of Kanata's population works in the area's technology sector, rental turnover here sometimes follows employment patterns as much as standard lease cycles, occasionally with shorter notice than a typical annual lease might allow. Being able to schedule a rekey on relatively short notice matters more here than it might in a market with more predictable turnover timing.
