You simply cannot be subjected to their schedules for emergencies - I guarantee you in the event of a gas or water leak, for example, if the adjoining owner is at work or out of town, the gas or water company will turn off gas to the whole building if necessary, without their permission, so they might as well give you access to prevent a whole building shutoff for emergencies.

Those that think otherwise must simply not know the markets very well.
