Or he could just have the tenant unlock the door for him.

@Amy Webber Its a long conversation but it is overwhelming... get out of QRPs and unlock your money where you can do what you want with it and leverage appropriately.

But I'd *love* to hear thoughts on remote door unlocking technology, like via apps and such.

thank you both for replying but we are really screwed.....this guy is a low life and we just made a gross mistake.....the sheriff said they refuse to come out even tho the sargent the other day said to call when we put the three day up.....also we locked the gate, do we have to unlock it, that is all I will ask again....( vandalsm to mobile home and the sherrif said if he is locked out we will be fined) He called the sheriff two days ago and said we locked him out, we did not and he said only one last question,,,,,do we have to unlock the gate.....cannot get a 30 day notice till next month.thank you no more questons

Put up a camera even if its fake.If you lock the breaker boxes, then you will get a call to unlock it whenever a breaker trips (like when they plug in the hairdryer on the circuit where their microwave is already running).If they are going after the copper, locking the panels won't stop them; you can see holes get punched in walls in lots of places where the copper thieves have hit.

Read your landlord tenant laws to see if you can charge in AZ.)14 days seems tight, make sure that's correct.Change the locks as soon as you have possession, and take a video of your initial walkthrough from the time you unlock the door until you've gone through every room.

No need for running wiring for each individual unit, a visitor pushes the button for the person they are visiting, the unit dials the number that is programmed and the resident can hit a button to unlock the door (assuming there is already electronic locking hardware in place).

It is OK to have one GFCI and have the other outlets connected as "load" so they trip it, as long as they are all on the same circuit (not likely). 5) No easily accessible tool to unlock a locked bedroom door from the outside.

In todays age its just another wasted step. 5-7% for someone to lock and unlock the doors....no thanks.Realtors I can feel your glare....sorry.....no not really

(We change locks every time, but have had tenants leave apartments unlocked or locked with keys in the mailbox- I'd rather they take the keys with them or turn them into me).With the last rent invoice, I remind them of what is expected at move out time, and see if they have any questions or want to schedule an inspection.Where I went to school, leases ended at noon and the new ones started at noon on the same day, so there wasn't any cleaning or repairs happening in between, and that seems to still be in practice in some buildings, at least from what my inherited tenants have reported.
