Change the locks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\nAfter the tenant has been evicted, it is essential to change the locks to protect your property and ensure that the former tenant cannot regain access.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Recover_outstanding_rent\"><\/span>9.
