Tech Worth It
- App/PIN gates with logs: Unique codes, instant revoke, entry history — real security upgrade.
- Online lease + pay: Move in without office; keep receipts.
- Smart cameras + lighting: Motion alerts + LED = safer nights.
Hype to Question
“Smart unit” sensors you can’t view, kiosk-only support with no human backup, Bluetooth-only gates that fail with dead phones. Always keep a PIN fallback + posted help number. Tour tech live on finalists.
FAQs
Pay extra for tech?
$5–$15/mo for true app-gate + logs is fair if you visit after hours. Don’t pay for buzzwords.
What if phone dies?
Need PIN/keypad fallback. Confirm before signing.
