    It’s a very common practice and mostly a fair one.    Some OCs choose to use a security firm to provide fobs.  Some can do it themselves.  Many choose to use their SM.

    Either way, to provide extra or replacement (due lost or damaged) fobs/remotes/common keys to individual lot owners, a user pays system is fair.   It’s not really something the OC itself is benefiting from or requesting.    If you are not happy with the OC’s arrangement with the SM, or the fees that they charge, you could always suggest that the OC use another method.
