Property here turns over constantly. Tenants change, houses sell, and every one of those events leaves keys in circulation that the current occupant cannot account for. Rekeying handles it without buying hardware: the cylinders are re-pinned to a new key, the locks stay on the doors, and every key issued before that day stops working. For a landlord that is both cheaper than replacement and a clear record that access was reset.
For managers running several Cottage Hill units, the better arrangement is a master system. Each tenant key opens only that unit while one management key covers the portfolio, which removes the ring of unlabelled keys and the panic when one goes missing. Re-pinning a single unit after a tenant leaves then affects nothing else in the system.
For homeowners the trigger is usually a purchase. You cannot know who kept a key to a house you have just bought, and on a forty-year-old Cottage Hill property that list could be long. One visit, every exterior door, and it is settled.

The standard Cottage Hill job. Quicker and cheaper than new hardware and it achieves exactly the same thing.
One key for the portfolio, individual keys per unit. Re-pin one unit at turnover instead of the whole building.
Forty years of a house means an unknown number of keys. Rekeying every exterior door closes it on day one.
Yes. Cottage Hill turnover work gets scheduled between occupancies or at times that suit the tenant, including evenings and weekends.
Usually. It replaces a ring of unlabelled keys with one management key, and a tenant change means re-pinning that unit alone rather than touching the others.
If the lock still operates properly, rekey it. Replace when it is worn out or being upgraded. We assess each Cottage Hill door and say which applies before quoting.
