Renting By The Room & Changing Locks
I am starting my very first house hack; two weeks into it now. I am wondering what everyone does when it comes to tenants moving in/out. Like do you just keep it simple and make them a copy of your key then change the locks when they move out? Any smart locks you'd recommend? I am very green when it comes to REI so any advice on this househacking method would be appreciated so i dont lose money.
Thanks in advance!

I make the old tenants turn in their keys and then I pass that key to the next tenant.
I like Schlage smart locks. You can easily change combos and give them to tenants. Not wifi compatible, but very simple.
