Jacob A. Emergency Access to Rental Properties

I am thinking of situations where there is a bad tenant who changes locks without letting you know, changes garage door PINs, resets garage door openers, or adds deadbolt that is accessible from only inside the house.Also for situations when temperatures drop too low and you need to access the house to open a faucet and the tenant is not at home.I have added kwikset locks with the rekey feature and also with a second deadbolt that has another separate key.

Bathroom hardward (TP and towel racks) - mount to a 1x4 plaque that is screwed to studs. you can pretty much hang on it without pulling out the hardware. i use entry level granite countertops - stain resistant, and should last a long time. i put LVP through the entire house, bathrooms and closets included. its water proof and scratch resistant. while the initial cost is more than carpet, you wont have to replace it as often. i use Sherwin-Williams Harmony line of paint, in a semi-gloss sheen. the semi-gloss is easier to wipe off for small marks, and the harmony line has deodorizers built in. for exterior door knobs, i use the smartkey knobs from kwikset. you can rekey a knob in a few minutes - no need to pay rekeying fees anymore. last tip - figure out which appliances your market typically provides. in my market, its not common to provide washers and dryers, so i dont. thats one less thing to have to repair. 4. i dont see an issue with the gas stove. to convert to electric you will need to have a 220V plug, which could be costly to install if not already there.
