I suspect defeating the deadbolt is not the easiest entry method into most units. 

Yea, I’m admitting defeat on this one.

Sometimes pressure is actually self-defeating, I think.

It’s annoying and defeats its purpose for me.

Having break-in to WIFI is common business, wifi is not reliable, if I want I can always attack someone wifi and possibly make that key lock not working which at the end defeat the purpose and advertise how to attack certain lock in Tiktok (just similar to what happen to Kia/Hyundai where they're easy get stolen).4. in case we really really really need smart lock, use one that require less amount of energy and use protocol that's very local, like bluetooth or Zwave.

But for sure, if they defeat you, it is what it is, and you are looking at alternatives.

Ironically, many teachers are renters, which will defeat the purpose of the bill. 

Don't defeat yourself in the first 30 days of ownership.

I would most likely get push back on this from potential tenants, and may have to lower rent (which defeats the purpose!). 

It's self defeating.
