Southern required keyless locks at my parents' place in Marvilla a couple years back, though I don't know if that's a company-wide policy or just thier complex.

Agree with all benefits - but my dissatisfaction stems from the way this action has been mandated with no warning and expecting the owner to pay ALL costs, especially in the off-season. It's just the latest in a series of management decisions I'm not happy with.

Back to original question: Any more management company recommendations out there (or ones to stay away from)?

Hi Andi...you now manage three properties?
What is the address of your website?

I am becoming very weary with the administration of my current local rental mgmt company in Grayton. Rentals are decent, they are just hard to deal with. They are now requiring all of their owners to pay for a $500 keyless entry system to make their job easier.

Can anyone with property in that area recommend a replacement based on their experience?

Schlage has a keypad deadbolt available at Home Depot and Lowes for about $130.00. You can assign many different passcodes. They can be temporary or long term and take 7 seconds to change or disable. The cleaning crews could change the code after the rental has expired upon cleaning or if your management company visits their units they could change it themself upon inspection after renters. It might be a good way for you to know that your managers are actually checking up. I know it's more convenient for them to change the code remotely, but you probably want them to check in anyhow.

I am in the process of starting up a rental management company at this time. Everything will be ready in the next 30-45 days. I would love to sit down and go over everything with you. I specialize in Internet marketing and will surely get the bookings. I also own a cleaning company so that will be very well taken care of. We will be including many concierge services to set ourselves apart from other companies. You won't need a keyless entry system because we are going to provide check in assistance for every client. Let me know if you would like to discuss further.

Josh - Thanks and please keep the forum updated when your rental website is available. I like (and require!) a personal check-in. Trying to bypass that procedure is sure to cause problems with underage renters.

Andi - What is your website and/or company name?

Parents check their kids in and then leave.

Parents check their kids in and then leave.

But the van full of teenagers sitting there while the only parent checks in is still visible!

Seriously, what parent does that? Mine would think it freaking ridonkulous for both moral AND liability reasons.

A good thing about the remote keyless entry system.....you can change the combo and lock out the spring breakers.;-)
