  • Question: Why does the Management Office need keys to my unit?
    • Residents are required to turn in a set of working keys to the management office for their units. This is especially crucial if the locks are changed at any time…i.e., by a new owner. These keys will only be used in the case of emergencies or issued to authorized emergency personnel or authorized agents of the Council of Unit Owners. With the resident’s written permission, key release is also available to outside contractors and delivery man. To prevent unauthorized use of your keys, each key is coded. If emergency access is necessary and the unit owner or tenants have changed locks without providing a copy to management office and a working copy is not available within a timely manner, the unit owner or tenant must pay all associated cost relating to entry and damage to the unit or common elements or related liabilities because no key was provided.
