Smart Locks for Short-Term Rentals & Apart Hotels: 2026 Guide

Turkey's short-term rental market is booming from Istanbul to Antalya — and every host faces the same question: how do I hand over keys without being there?

The problem with physical keys

• In-person handovers kill late check-ins
• Guest-copied keys are a silent risk
• Re-keying between tenants costs more than the lock

The fix: smart locks with temporary codes

With TTLock or Tuya locks: unique PIN per booking sent via WhatsApp, auto-expiry at check-out, real-time entry logs.

What to demand

1. PIN + fingerprint + card + app + key redundancy

2. Works offline

3. 12-month battery with low-battery alerts

4. IP65+ waterproofing for exterior doors
