Thank you for your thoughts and replies.
Building management recently introduced a new security fob system that is apparently unable to be cloned. It has worked well as I have not witnessed a copy in use, however, the cunning residents in question ( AirBnB, overcrowded units etc) merely leave the a fob in their letter box to be used at will and left when there when the unit is unoccupied.
Another initiative has been to prevent access between levels via the fire stairs. This has worked well and stopped a lot of tailgating in lifts.
Fingerprint access is overkill to the overcrowding and AirBnB issues. I am sure those who persist will manage to lift and create a copy of their fingerprint rendering the system redundant anyhow.
Yes, an injured or plastered finger will create dramas too. Plus, if I have an overnight or short-term guest they could not leave and come back without my presence. If sick or bedridden, a healthcare worker would not be able to attend either.
I am certain a lawyer has not drawn up any amendments to the by-laws.
Woe is me !
