Field notes on Key Copies — messy, usable, long enough to act on.

Ask landlord or property desk first; label keys the same day.

1. Observe once at the hour you'd actually use it.
2. Write the Chinese name the same day.
3. Keep proof for money steps.
4. Build a backup before you need it.
5. Revisit after thirty ordinary days.

Protect your Tuesday-night self — that's who lives with the plan.
