Digital access cards and apartment arrivals
A digital card needs a documented handover process just as any other access method does. At Marina Square, owners have described card-based apartment access. Confirm the exact setup and building procedures for your own unit.

Record each card and its permitted use
Keep a controlled inventory of cards and who holds them. Record which access points each authorised card serves, following the building’s instructions. Do not assume a card opens every facility or that guest privileges match an owner’s privileges.
Agree custody between the owner, manager and authorised staff. Store cards securely and avoid publishing sensitive access details or card identifiers in public listing content.
Plan arrival and return
Confirm visitor registration, arrival timing and the person responsible for meeting the guest or arranging another approved handover method. Give guests only the instructions needed for their stay.
At checkout, account for returned cards before preparing the next arrival. If a card is missing, contact the relevant building or access administrator through the approved procedure. Do not improvise copying or reprogramming.
Agree contingencies before a guest needs them
Discuss late arrivals, a guest who cannot enter and a lost card before launch. Record the authorised escalation contacts and any replacement charges stated by the building.
ColomboApartment.com coordinates access within the service plan and building requirements. The precise arrival process and any separate card replacement cost are confirmed for the unit, not assumed from a neighbouring apartment.

Questions owners ask.
Can a guest use every facility with the apartment card?
Confirm the building’s guest access rules. Apartment access does not automatically establish permission for every shared facility.
What happens if a guest loses a card?
Follow the approved building or access-administrator procedure and the agreed reporting and replacement-cost terms.
