The Cost of Low-Quality Access Control
Access control in multifamily properties isn’t just a convenience—it’s essential for safety, efficiency, and resident satisfaction. As a property owner or manager, you may be underestimating the hidden costs of low-quality access control.
Security Breaches and Liability Risks
Residents want to feel safe in their homes and inadequate access control systems can lead to unauthorized entry, jeopardizing residents and property assets. This is especially concerning in package rooms, where high volumes of deliveries are vulnerable to theft. Incidents like package theft, vandalism, or unauthorized access can result in costly repairs, legal liabilities, and a damaged reputation.
Operational Inefficiencies
Outdated methods, such as physical keys and manual record-keeping, are weighing your property staff down with inefficient and outdated tasks. Lost or stolen keys require rekeying costs that add up, while manually tracking visitor logs is time-consuming and prone to errors. These inefficiencies increase operational costs and take staff away from more pressing priorities.
Reduced Tenant Satisfaction and Retention
Modern renters expect convenience and security. Limited-feature access control systems that complicate guest entry, delay maintenance access, or rely on misplaced keys frustrate residents. These inconveniences often lead to dissatisfaction, negative reviews, and higher resident turnover.
Reduced Net Operating Income
Properties with outdated access control systems risk losing their competitive edge. Residents are willing to pay a premium for secure, tech-forward solutions that offer safety and convenience such as resident key in Apple Wallet. Without these features, properties miss out on potential revenue and market appeal.
