Question: Are you guys usually around when people are renting? I am going to be traveling M-Th quite a bit this upcoming year, and renting out the apartment when I'm gone seems like it could be a nice way to help recoup rent. I assume I'd have to get one of my friends or roommates to help me out and be there when they arrive, but no one would be around the rest of the time. From y'alls experiences hosting and staying, how odd would this be?

Not odd. Every place in the EU I stayed at was this way. Some of our local competitors set up keypads with alternating codes and entrance cameras. To me, it was not worth the investment as my wife works from home....but I don't think remote or surrogate hosting is weird at all.

To follow up on this, is this also the case with apartment buildings? I'm just not 100% sure how I would go about doing things like leaving keys for people or what have you. I don't really have very much worth stealing, so I'm not too concerned about that, but just the logistics seem tough and I'm not sure what the expectation is for guests.

e: Oh, keyboxes. Cool idea.
