I've seen landlords put these things on doors, too, and use them to allow entrance to anyone they think has a reason to be inside, whether the resident knows and consents or not.

Actually, yeah, I edited above but it did have a little keyhole: Except the management office said it was for themselves alone.

That's just...eegh...

Yeah fuck that.

Actually that is illegal (at least in my area), they're required to give at least 24hr notice for maintenance or the landlord themselves coming by, etc. Exception is cops, they can always let in cops (and EMS and Fire I think).

I think that's been the law everywhere I've lived, too, but not always followed...
