Type1: Keypad access w/ physical key backup Type2: No keypad access(Bluetooth only) w/ physical key backup Type3: Keypad and/or Bluetooth without physical key backup.I would only use type 1 in my rentals as I don't want the tenant to be dependent on the phone having a charge to open the door.

I just haul it to the dump and tell them to sue me if they don't like it.. because I have all my fancy trusts series LLC and other asset protection set up so no one can get a judgement from me anyway.I would think there is not enough storage units to go around if every actually stored this junk.. and or this is a nichestart a haul off storage for landlords and PMs  one call does it all.. haul it to your storage charge the landlord the haul off and the storage.. that seems like a nice additional profit center for an enterprising PM company .. and your just following the letter of the law which as a broker you probably have to do .. me I don't care I can hold my own against a dead beat tenant..
