Holy shit. This is one of the worst ones I've ever seen.
Want to get a list of insecure apartment buildings, with addresses, and a complete list of the residents, which rooms they're in, and what their normal schedules are of using their fobs to get in and out? And then authorize yourself a fob that will work to get in the building and unlock their doors?
Go right ahead.
While electronic access is common for the main building doors; I don't think I've ever seen the actual apartment units secured with electronic locks. That's always been a physical key in my experience. (except; mo/hotels, or owned units where the owner can install whatever lock they choose)
They typically use cheap easily pickable locks inside though. The one on my door I can rake open in 2 seconds. (can't change it due to the lease)
I'm amazed that your LL is against you replacing it out of your own funds and providing them a key. That's so dumb.
You could probably arrange that if you really tried, and it would be easier with an individual landlord; but barring the tenant from changing the locks (without express written consent) is a pretty standard lease clause. Building management companies don't want to deal with swapping locks all the time and keeping track of changing keys, especially when there's 200+ units on the property. They're usually pretty rigid with the terms of the lease.
yea, for multi unit complexes like apartments, I assume that it could be in place cause the LL likely has a master key that works across all doors as well
Also possibly basement access or similar things that work with all the apartment keys.
