On this week’s episode of Short Term Rental Management, Luke breaks down two recent SOP failures—when a deadbolt and backup lockbox both failed—and explains why that kind of catastrophic access breakdown is preventable with better systems. He shares practical fixes like replacing unreliable push-button lockboxes, tracking deadbolt install dates and lockbox details in a spreadsheet, and implementing a semiannual lockbox function test so you’re never scrambling during guest check-in.
