[quote=Anonymous]I have no idea where to place this post.

My question is is there a tool or something that will allow me to stop people from entering a rented house? My family rented a beach house recently and upon returning home we notice someone accessed our laptops and other items and made changes.

The owner, stupidly grants access to the house by sharing their garage code. The door from the garage to the house has a deadbolt but we were never given the key. When we would all leave, the garage code was the only thing keeping our stuff safe. One day when my adult kids were there a neighbor used the code to go into the garage. We are certain someone went in to the house when we were all gone. We had a short stay and could never get the key in time.

I know there are things to use to secure doors when I am in the house. I don't know how to secure the door when I leave the house. I'm will never rent a house/condo again because of this.

Also another crappy thing I experienced was the last time I was selling a home. We bought a new house and put our house on the market a few weeks after we moved in to the new house. We lived less that a mile away and I checked on the house regularly. I saw people in my house who had visited the house previously and they had not used the automated system. The real estate agent representing the couple had made a copy of our the key in the lockbox and were going in regularly. When I told my agent, she said I shouldn't complain as they were the best offer we had on the house.  [/quote]
