Tenant Lock-In and Lock-Out Services

In cases of severe non-compliance or default, a lock-in or lock-out service may be necessary. This involves:

• Tenant Lock-In Security: When the tenant is still on-site but behind on payments, some landlords opt for on-site security to prevent asset removal until debts are settled.
• Tenant Lock-Out: Changing the locks and restricting access can be a last-resort measure. Professional security can secure the property during this time, preventing unauthorized entry and protecting landlord interests.

Be sure to work with a legal professional to ensure compliance with local laws, as improper lock-outs can lead to legal complications.
