→New lock on moving in
===New lock on moving in===
When you move into a place, you can ask the landlord to re-key or change the locks, if they haven’t already done so, to prevent former tenants or others with a key from coming into your home. You should write a letter to ask for the change of locks. If your landlord refuses, you can apply to have an order from the [[Residential Tenancy Branch]] that the landlord change the locks. See ''Section 25 of the [[Residential Tenancy Act|RTA]].''
