Sentinel Fair Housing advises property owners that the security of your rental property extends from the locks on rental unit doors to the keys to those doors. Don't let the keys get into the wrong hands:
Keep all duplicate keys in a locked area, identified by a code that only you and your manager know. Several types of locking key drawers and sophisticated key "safes" are available. Check ads in magazines that cater to the residential rental industry, or visit a local lock shop.
Strictly limit access to master keys by allowing only you and your manager to have them.
Keep strict track of all keys provided to tenants and, if necessary, to your employees.
Re-key every time a new tenant moves in.
