If You just got the keys to a house you bought.
Then Rekey every exterior door to one new key.
The seller, their agent and any tradesperson who held a copy are now locked out, and you carry a single key. Lock Rekeying

The emergency group includes lost-key situations where the door is open but security is not. If a key ring vanished with your address attached, changing what those keys open is as urgent as any lockout, and it can usually be done in one sitting.

Which fix fits?
Tap a situation. The answer opens here.
If You are renting, and the landlord says the locks were never changed.
Then Ask the landlord to have the locks rekeyed.
Tenants generally need the owner's agreement, and most landlords are glad to do it when asked plainly.
If A tenant moved out and did not return every key.
Then Rekey before the next tenant arrives.
