Leopalace21 Corporation announced that the number of units with Smart Lock installed in the Company's managed apartments exceeded 50,000, the largest scale in Japan's rental housing management industry. The Company has been installing the Smart Lock to its managed apartments in order to provide increased convenience for the tenants and to promote its DX strategies since June 2022. As a result of the sequential installation starting with apartment units that have been vacated, the number of units installed exceeded 50,000 at the moment.

The customers can view rooms during apartment hunting or simply move into the room, without taking the time to visit the leasing sales office just to receive the key. On top of saving time and effort, it enables a non-face-to-face procedure as a protective measure against infectious diseases. It brings about the benefits to the tenants of reducing the risk of lost key and to the owners of enhancing the value of existing apartments by increased security due to self-locking door functionality.

During this high season in search for apartment for the new life, the customers can look for the desired apartment units equipped with smart lock. The Company continues to install Smart Locks in steps to 440,000 apartment units as a leading company in the industry in order to offer increased tenants' convenience and promote DX strategies.
