Re-key between tenants?

Alex Scotte

Posted

Hello all, 

I have a prospective tenant who wants me to re-key the front door. I don't feel it's necessary because the prior tenants are trustworthy and also have moved out of the city. It sounds like the tenant will sign the lease even if I don't re-key but is asking for it "to feel more secure". What are your thoughts?

@Alex Scotte oh my goodness, always, always  always rekey between every single tenant. You have absolutely no idea whom the previous tenant gave a key. This is a huge liability on your part, and so simple to do the right thing
