Effective key management is essential to maintaining safety, security, and accountability within housing organizations. Whether issuing keys to tenants or employees, a structured policy helps ensure consistency, prevent unauthorized access, and reduce liability. These sample templates offer guidance on creating clear, enforceable key control policies tailored to your organization’s needs.
Unsecured or mismanaged keys can pose significant safety risks and lead to costly breaches or liability issues. Implementing formal key control policies for both tenants and employees reinforces organizational standards, enhances security, and ensures accountability. With clearly defined roles and procedures, housing organizations can better protect their properties and the people within them.
