The Residential Tenancy Act (British Columbia) によれば、
The Act allows the tenant to request that the locks be changed at the beginning of a new tenancy.
The landlord is responsible for re-keying or otherwise changing the locks so that the keys issued to previous tenants do not give access to the rental unit.
The landlord is required to pay for any costs associated with changing the locks in this circumstance. The landlord may refuse to change the locks if the landlord had already done so after the previous tenant vacated the rental unit.
