If I was paying rent, and now I had to pay more money to open the door, that would probably deter me from renting from this building. Almost like a protection racket... You might be a tenant, but cough up extra money to get into your apartment...
I would strongly discourage a landlord from trying something like this. This is not a typical upsell, if anything the tenant blames the landlord for the problem in the first place...

- davemel37 14y agoThe perception of offering charging for any type of access to your apartment enhanced or not would be perceived negatively. Consider an apartment where the landlord charged you $1 every time you want to use the elevator, but you can always walk up the stairs. While one might be an enhanced way, I think people would still view it as the landlord double dipping. I think this product is much more suited to be a promotional feature subsidized by an outside delivery company (pizza joint) or the landlord to show off fancy bells and whistles in his building to entice new renters.
