Do you have a key to your tenant's storage room?
I'm currently updating keyed door knobs throughout my unit and I wondered, on the basement storage area should I put a keyed knob or a standard knob and allow the tenant to use a padlock. I'm believing just as I have keys to their unit, I should also have keys to the storage so I can include in my random/routine inspection. Yes?

padlocks are easy to cut off if you have too and less liability of them saying you took something, just my thought
