1 property keys Set, make sense?

[Idan Narotzki]

Hello everyone!

Background: Just Bought SFH for rental. The property had tenants. I switched the property management company. After getting some details, I got told by Old PM and listing agent, that only the tenants have the property keys (the PM doesn't).

How popular is that? -  that only the tenants have the property keys? 

Now, the new PM told me, that she will ask the tenants to copy the keys. Now, I wonder what should I do, if the tenants say NO? - that they are not allowing to copy their keys.  One detail that might be relevant is that their lease ends at 7/31/19, and probably they want to continue renting the property.

Thank you very much for your ideas and perspective!

Change out the locks and give copies to the tenants and new PM.
