Individual Room Locks
Hello, I am in the process of launching a company that handles the student housing for a small university within my city. There are under 100 students and they all know each other at some level. So more than likely the students living within the condos that I will be using for housing will all know each other.
My question is this, should I have individual locks for the rooms within the condo?
I've not done a rental property like this before, in general, I could use some guidance on how to handle the locks for each unit.
Any advise is appreciated!

Put on the key code type locks otherwise your going to end up with so many keys your going to go crazy.. you keep the master code the same to all locks and then program their code.. expensive first time around but you'll love it in the end..
Same for entry door,,, code lock and change code if someone moves out.
