I try to use other screening criteria to judge whether someone is reliable and would take care of my place.

Building a reliable team involves a lot of trial and error, and it can be a lengthy process. 

Much easier to do business there in terms of regulation but harder to come by a reliable cleaning/handyman/PMteam and smaller pool of contractors.You need to decide what is important to you.

They are not the most reliable doors around. 

Animal control broke the door and the apartment was destroyed, the energy was shut off so the fridge was full of magots.

Another vote for Schlage Encode (easy setup if you use Android, very reliable, great battery life even with heavy usage) and more straightforward for us than Yale Assure (which we also tested).

Also, you need a reliable source of funds to get these done.

The time and energy you will spend pursuing a remedy is not worth it.  

Shelter and energy were the standouts, contributing over 60% of the monthly increase.

I have other clients that like using Choice HW but I find they are not as responsive or reliable.
