1. Maintenance Request Codes

Place a QR in each room or common area. Scanning opens a pre-filled form that records the unit number and area automatically via the URL parameter. The tenant describes the fault; the team receives a structured ticket.

2. Tenant Welcome Pack

A QR code in the welcome letter links to a digital guide covering WiFi, utility contacts, rubbish days, and emergency numbers. Updating the page keeps the printed code valid without reprinting.

3. Utilities and Meter Reading

Link codes near meters to the utility provider's self-meter-read portal or a form the managing company monitors.

4. Access Control

QR codes are used in some smart lock systems as a temporary access token. These must use a signed, time-limited payload verified by the lock server; a static or guessable code creates a security risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a tenant submit maintenance requests without an app?

Yes. A web form linked from the QR code works on any phone without installation.

Are QR smart lock codes secure?

Only if they use short-lived signed tokens verified server-side. Static QR codes for locks are a security risk.
