Somehow in your busy life routine the safety of your home gets overlooked especially if you live with roommates but it’s really important not to. When one of your roommates leaves it is necessary to take some steps to maintain security and changing locks is the best way to secure your home.
The Potential Risks When a Roommate Leaves
People can sometimes misbehave and when you decide that a roommate needs to move out there is a chance that resentment feelings may arise. Even if their key is returned it’s still possible that they may have made other copies without your knowledge.
Sometimes things end in a fight and as revenge they may share information about valuable items in your home and transfer their key to other people and basically give them an opportunity to break into your home or even use it themselves if they choose to vandalize your place.
Benefits of Lock Replacement
Knowing that your home is secure by replacing all locks will ensure your safety and by changing the locks you can be absolutely sure that nobody but you has the key to your home.
Your security should always come first and even if you had a great relationship with your ex-roommate there is still a big chance they’ve shared a spare key with someone who could be a threat to you.
