Oki have to post here in agreement with one4all, i myself recently worked as a reception area concierge for a large accomodation building with 230 tenants, this was for almost four years.
Now with so many tenants and guests/friends i often have had to ask people for I.D. Who enter building, for a variety of reasons.
They could tailgate their way in, they could look suspicious, recent thefts from building may require regular I.D. checks even if you live there.
If i come to you asking for this I.D. And you flatly refuse and im concerned for security of building and other tenants, i am given authority by the building manager to call the police to your flat for what is deemed unauthorized entry into the building. Even tho you may well live there.

but the one4all does not work as a concierge.
he has no authority to anything
he is just a cowboy tough guy that lays down demands and people BETTER comply or he will READ THEIR LEASE out loud and get them EVICTED
major difference

If that's her job? Absolutely. Once he's proven he lives there, which he did. It's over. Anything else is harassment.
See, in shared apartment complexes, you are not supposed to allow access to people who do not live there or are not accompanied by someone who lives there. It is the duty of every tenant to follow those simple rules. Else, someone gets let in that should not be there and bad things happen.
In this case, once he showed his key fob/card, and proved it worked in the door, she should have backed off. I have, in past even pulled the door closed while explaining to them why I was doing that. They usually get pissed, but too bad. I'm not going to be the one to let someone in, have them rob or hurt someone in the building, only to find I was the one that allowed that to happen. Then, I could be tossed out of the building and lose my residence.
However, if the person either proved they have access via key/card, then come on in, and I will hold the door for you.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm in a position to see how this issue is handled at plenty of apartment complexes here in the US. They tell people not to let anyone in whom they do not know unless they have proper keycards or codes. It's in their newsletters written by complex staff. That sort of implies that if you don't know someone and they don't have a means of access on their own, it's up to you to prevent them from entry.

If they try to get in or ask you to let them in and you don't know them, you aren't supposed to let them in or let them follow you in.
If they have a means of access, then clearly it should be obvious they belong there.
So, if I was going into my scholarship house and some person came up and asked me to let them in, I would say no. They either had the code to let themselves in or they could darn well call in for someone who knew them to come let them in, but I wasn't going to let them in.
This is the exact same message I see repeated in newsletter after newsletter.
