CARMEL, Ind. — Allegion is launching Operation: Retrofit Refresh Sweepstakes, offering one multifamily property a $20,000 access control overhaul—a turnkey upgrade designed to ease operations, delight residents and almost-instantly boost net operating income.
“Every empty unit is lost rent and lost momentum,” says Laura Lindner, multifamily marketing manager at Allegion, in the company announcement. “This campaign is about showing multifamily property owners that even small, strategic retrofits—like modern access control—can deliver big returns in occupancy, resident satisfaction, and operational efficiency.”
Why is Allegion Offering an Access Control Overhaul?
Mobile access control is no longer a luxury; it’s a leasing differentiator. Recent surveys show:
- 6 in 10 renters would likely choose a property that offers mobile access control.
- More than half would pay 1–10% more for property technology, and nearly 3 in 10 would pay at least 11% more.
- Lease conversions increase by 86% when prospects use self-guided tours, enabled by smart access solutions.
For owners squeezed by rising costs and competitive pressures, these upgrades aren’t just amenities; they’re revenue drivers and retention tools.
