Cut Vacancy Costs: Automate Turnovers and Move-Ins with RemoteLock
For multifamily property managers, efficiency and security are key when handling unit turnovers and resident transitions. Between preparing a unit for a new resident and managing move-in and move-out logistics, time-consuming tasks can drive up costs and extend vacancies. With RemoteLock’s access control solutions, both processes become faster, more automated, and more secure — reducing on-site supervision, streamlining vendor access, and minimizing downtime between residents.
Turnovers: Vendor Access Made Easy
Traditionally, the process of cleaning, maintenance, vendor access, and inspection between residents requires key handoffs, in-person oversight, and manual scheduling, all of which can slow down the process.
With RemoteLock, managers can grant their vendors and staff access more quickly and efficiently:
- Automated Vendor Access: Grant time-sensitive PINs to cleaning crews, maintenance teams, and other vendors that are enabled as soon as a unit is vacant, eliminating the need for physical keys or on-site staff coordination.
- Remote Management: Control access to units and shared spaces from anywhere, reducing unnecessary trips to the property.
- Improved Security: Ensure vendors can only access units during approved times, preventing unauthorized entry and potential liability concerns.
By accelerating turnovers, managers can make properties available to new residents faster, reducing vacancy times and improving operational efficiency.
Move-In and Move-Out: Seamless, Contactless Access for Residents
Move-in and move-out processes involve issuing and revoking access credentials for residents — a critical step in maintaining security. Manual key handoffs create logistical challenges and security risks, especially if former residents might have made copies of their keys.
Smart locks without access management software mitigate the risk of copied keys and the inconvenience of swapping lock cores, but still require manual code creation, which is time-consuming and difficult to track.
With RemoteLock:
- Automated Credential Creation: New residents receive digital access codes or mobile credentials as soon as their lease is active, eliminating the need for in-person key exchanges or manual PIN creation.
- Instant Revocation: As soon as a resident moves out or their lease expires, their access is revoked automatically, ensuring security without tracking down keys or rekeying locks.
- Flexibility for Late Arrivals: Residents can move in on their own schedule without requiring staff to be on-site. And with RemoteLock’s event notifications, managers can tell exactly when a resident’s code was first used.
With these features, RemoteLock ensures a smooth, secure experience for residents while saving property managers time and resources.
Minimizing Vacancy to Maximize Profitability
Every day a unit sits empty represents lost revenue. Streamlining turnovers and move-in/move-out processes means fewer days between residents and more occupied units generating income. RemoteLock helps:
- Reduce manual tasks, freeing up staff to focus on higher-value operations.
- Automate Self-Touring, allowing you to show empty units to more prospects and fill vacant units faster.
- Increase security, preventing unauthorized access to vacant units.
- Improve resident satisfaction, making move-ins and move-outs hassle-free.
By leveraging RemoteLock’s powerful access control features, multifamily property managers can simplify operations, enhance security, and reduce costs — ultimately creating a smarter, more efficient property management strategy.
