Ahmet Astal, Vice President – Yale Middle East, says that the trend of letting out your own property or using holiday homes has grown exponentially thanks to the likes of Airbnb and similar booking agents, and with that has come the need to re-evaluate a smarter home security solution.
“Our research shows that 70 percent of people are more likely to invest in a smart door lock if it made it easier to handle key management when renting out their properties. All of the most common pitfalls are instantly mitigated with the use of smart door locks like the worry of lock outs, loss of keys and, who else might have a key cut to the door.”
Furthermore, the guest experience is enhanced with no delays upon arrival and peace of mind that their access code is unique to their stay. For the landlord, costs are driven down on management fees and precious time saved not having to be present at the front door to issue and collect keys.
When figures from Airbnb alone show they added more than one million listings between July 2018 and May 2019 and now have over six million worldwide it becomes apparent the scale to which people are using residential property versus traditional hotel accommodation.
