But you will have to take a look at some of the items that might be effected by that: outlets, light switches, other trim like window trim, baseboards or crownmoldingOnce you open up the walls and a framing inspector sees that, they will make you bring things up to code.

Slate walks, window-filled 3-season room, lighted ceiling fans, polished wood trim.

All this said, you too could be a Serial Mover as I am, and just keep moving into light fixers, stay a year or two, and move on again.  

Seriously though, as I now have kids an open floor plan from the kitchen into a living area is important as is natural light.

I completely renovated the bathroom in my house for around $6K, all new everything including flooring, plumbing, fixtures, tile, drywall, lighting.  

You have to tread lightly there.

Security system, lights, fencing off the property during rehab, talking with neighbors to keep an eye out, etc.

and at the end of the day, we need to be able to use common sense in getting into a door.Yes, you will need a WiFi set up to control the lock at your location and a very cheap subscription if you want to control the locks remotely - but you don't have to.Beware of shiny, good "Apple" design looking products made of cheap and light plastics, especially when it comes to longevity and the heavy mechanics needed to withstand millions of physical movements and human force.Also, remember the water- and weatherproof factor.The "on top of door deadbolt" solutions are NOT preferable over the inside lock solution.

And now that I know about such an absurd policy, I think I should at least try to bring it to light, get it changed and warn people about it.

I filter all phone calls and have good cameras set up that take clear video in all lighting conditions just in case.
