Signs This Belongs in Your Standard Turnover Checklist
- [ ] A tenant has moved out, regardless of how the tenancy actually ended
- [ ] You manage several units and want a consistent process rather than case-by-case decisions
- [ ] You're not entirely sure how many keys exist for a specific unit right now
- [ ] Your rental property is along or near the Merivale Road corridor with commercial units nearby
- [ ] A new tenant is scheduled to move in and you want a genuinely clean start for them
Why This Applies Regardless of How a Tenancy Ended
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. Rekeying between every tenancy, not just the ones that felt uncertain, is the more defensible standard.
Why Nepean, ON's Established Rental Stock Often Has a Real Key History
A lot of Nepean's rental housing has been in place for years, sometimes changing hands between different landlords along the way. A property with this kind of history can carry an accumulated key uncertainty that goes beyond just the most recent tenant, which is worth factoring in if you've recently taken over management of an established rental.
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.
Building This Into a Routine, Not a Case-by-Case Decision
For landlords managing multiple Nepean units, a rekey between every tenancy is easiest to manage as a standard checklist item alongside cleaning and repairs, not something decided tenant by tenant.
