Stolen keys- Who Pays for Re-Keying?
My tenant reported the house key stolen along with his ID that indicates the address of the rental property. He is asking that I pay for the re-keying of the front door lock. This is a CA property. Who should pay for this expense?
Thanks in advance!

I'd take care of it immediately, gratis. Getting ripped off is hard on someone and your property is unsecure to boot. Since their ID has your address on it, I assume they've been there a while? Help em out already.
Would've grabbed one of my several locksets I circulate around and had it swapped quicker than it took you to post the question, but that's just me. If it takes a week and $150 for you, get a screwdriver.
