Just a note... We manage a few rental properties and there may be some
new state requirements wrt this subject. The legal issues are confusing
still, but our lawyer is recommending that we provide both a keyed
deadbolt (both sides require a key) and a keyless deadbolt (turn knob
only on the inside) on all properties.

The keyed deadbolt is to prevent someone breaking a nearby window
and gaining access while the keyless deadbolt is to prevent unauthorized
access by the manager... And if you might notice, the local hardware
stores are running specials on the keyless deadbolts. :^) :^)
