In the real world, people commonly enter unit numbers in different formats due to personal habits, organizational practices, or regional conventions. For instance:

Some users may always include leading zeros for consistency (04-26). Others may omit leading zeros for simplicity (4-26). Property management systems or landlords might use padded formats (004-26) for database sorting or compliance with their internal conventions. Accepting all these variations ensures the system works seamlessly with diverse user inputs, preventing unnecessary rejection of valid entries.
