This is a fair assessment. Its a basic escrow situation.
The only way it can be "automatically" verified is if there is a way to programmatically work out if the keys have been delivered to the right person. In ebay terms, signed delivery is enough, because the delivery company provides a signature.
But for a landlord situation its much harder. You need to some how verify the receipt of keys went to the correct person stated in the "smart" contract. The traditional way is getting the estate agent to look at the ID of the person and get them to sign a form.
