Grant’s direct answer
Lock-and-leave means the resident can secure the apartment, leave for several days or weeks, and return without a long list of home-maintenance concerns. Grant values controlled building access, secure package handling, reliable management, and a service structure that keeps daily life simple while the resident is away. It is one reason an apartment or high-rise can fit a travel-heavy lifestyle better than a large house that requires more upkeep. The ideal property gives the resident freedom to travel without feeling tied to managing the home from another city.
