When Should a Rental Property Be Rekeyed?
Rental properties often have more key copies in circulation than owners realize. Tenants, previous tenants, roommates, contractors, cleaners, guests, family members, and caretakers may all have had access at different times.
You may want to rekey a rental property when:
- A tenant moves out
- A roommate leaves
- Keys are lost or not returned
- A property changes ownership
- A rental is being prepared for a new tenant
- You are not sure who still has copies
- A contractor, cleaner, or guest had temporary access
- You want better control over property access
Rekeying helps reset access without necessarily replacing every lock on the property.
Rekeying Between Tenants
Tenant turnover is one of the most common reasons to rekey a rental property. Even when keys are returned, there may be no way to know how many copies were made during the rental period.
A tenant-turnover rekey can help make old keys stop working before the next tenant moves in. This can be a practical step for single-family rentals, apartments, duplexes, camps, cottages, and local rental properties.
Rental Rekeying vs. Lock Replacement
Rekeying and replacing locks are not the same thing.
Rekeying keeps compatible existing lock hardware but changes which key operates it. Replacing a lock means removing the existing hardware and installing a new lock.
If your locks are in good condition and compatible with rekeying, rekeying may be the best option. If the hardware is damaged, worn, loose, or not working properly, replacement may make more sense.

Lock Repair and Hardware Issues for Rentals
Rental properties often develop lock and door hardware problems over time. Keys may become hard to turn, deadbolts may stop lining up correctly, knobs may loosen, or old hardware may become unreliable.
If a rental property has a lock that is sticking, loose, or not working properly, repair or replacement may be needed before or along with rekeying.

Keypad Locks for Rental Properties
Some rental property owners prefer keypad locks for easier access management. Keypad locks can be useful for short-term rentals, camps, cottages, cleaners, caretakers, family access, and guest entry.
Depending on the property, a keypad lock may reduce the number of physical keys being passed around.
