If you've ever seen lockpicking lawyer on youtube, smart locks are the easiest locks to pick in the world. If they spend lots on the electronics, the keyway is usually shit and anyone could pick it. If they spent a lot on a secure keyway, you can usually just pop off the panel and reset it or short it to unlock. If they spent a lot on the keyway and the electronics... landlords wouldn't buy it because they're cheap as fuck.
smartlocks are the bane of my existence. i started off with a deadbolt, then a month into my lease they said we're replacing these with a smart lock. by the way, you only get 1 key, can't make more of them, if you lose it it will be 50 dollars to replace (i checked and they cost 5 dollars lol). Oh and they dont work in the rain bye! I had to leave my apartment unlocked no less than 3 times because I had to urgently leave and the lock didn't work after 10 minutes of trying. At one point I woke the maintenance guy up at 3am because the battery died. /:

There are good locks but 99% of people don't buy them.
Came here to say this. I will add that a strong magnet is usually enough to open these. Don't even need to pick.
