So do Airbnb landlords

I was going to say this. I used to be a home carer and anyone suffering from dementia, mobility issues to hearing loss had one of these so I could gain access to the property with minimal disruption to the client. They’re important. Unsightly, of course, and no doubt some of them will be Airbnb but they could also just be for pet sitters, etc.

We also have one for our house. We have a cleaner that comes in once a week and it’s the easiest way for them to get in - helps that when my mother comes to visit she can let herself in if I’m not back from work.
