I send a self addressed stamped envelope and I generally lose only 1-2 keys per year. At least one renter tends to lose one or two of the keys I send but not both. I may give one of the keyless entry models a try. The one suggestion I would have for people owning a resort complex or community would be to lobby to have the resort or condominium association install a centrally managed keyless entry system for the building or phase. If you already have central property management for buildings, lawns, etc... this may be viable especially if the building your unit is in undergoes any sort of major renovation. I know they are doing this in one of the High Rise phases of the resort I own in. This does not help my townhouse style condo in another area of the resort but perhaps someday :) Andrew Seward Looking for a great Beach and/or Tennis getaway? www.findvacationrentals.com/7552 I’ve only got one unit that I rent so the Snail Mail key method has been working fairly well for me.
