We had issues with tailgating, parcel theft (now stopped by using an area with fob access) drug dealing, all of the above, we had hundreds of cloned fobs removed - it has vastly improved - the resistance to monitoring access...

I think I'll leave this now, it's getting a little weird - it is and always has been for emergency access only. Many kind people have gone off on unnecessary tangents. Keys wiith conciege happens in all blocks where I...

As for rents being lowered - not happening, mortgage rates still high (compared to how they were), no tax relief (not going to change) selective licensing coming in - if a landlord cannot meet their costs - and live, the...
