Well my apartment building is about to replace the doorbells with a cell phone app (or phone calls as an alternative). No cell phone -> no door bell. I'm just a renter; I get no say in the matter.

- paganel 2y agoYou provably missed the “is about to replace” part, not sure the OP was aware of what would be coming when he moved in.
- dabber 2y agoNo, I saw that. My comment was a poorly worded attempt to suggest that, as a renter, they can certainly choose to avoid it by moving just as they chose to avoid the other apparents they evaluated but never moved into. They're not forced into anything.

- dotancohen 2y agoCan people not still rap their knuckles upon your chamber door?
- NeoTar 2y agoI assume they would need to rap on the main entrance door, which could be five floors below this individuals apartment - not just their apartment door. (I.e. this is an entry phone that permits you to remotely unlock the street level door which is being replaced with a mobile app / phone call)
