    I’m the only committee member that lives on-site in my building and I’ve had owners lock themselves out and then come and ask me if I have a master key to let them back in (it’s like I am on call for them 24/7). I could not think of anything worse than having access to a master key to any apartment! It would be the very last thing that I would want  – I can already hear the accusations that I have accessed their property without permission or that I’ve stolen their things. I live with people who love to complain about everything but they won’t lift a finger themselves. They can call a locksmith to give them access into their unit or in the case of an emergency like the one listed, people can break the door down and we will sort out a repair. That seems much easier than all of the other possible drama that having a master key would involve!
