Tips for Security in Rental Home and Unit

Always protect yourself, your neighbors, and your home.

 

Tips:

 

  • Do not let anyone into your rental home or unit to block that you don't know or report suspicious people standing or walking around the building to your landlord or police.
  • If someone calls and you don't know them, give a call and inform to your landlord and keep the number who called you for evidence.
  • Always locked your front and back door, even when you are at home, especially at night. Make sure your doors and windows have a good quality locks.  And put curtains into your glass windows for no one can see what valuables you have when you are not at home. Also for your privacy.
  • Inform your landlord when you are away in a long period of time. And tell a trusted neighbor when you will be leaving and returning and leave an emergency contact number.
  • Make sure your door has a wide-angle door viewer (peephole).
  • Never leave notes on your front door saying you are not home. Even posting in social network, don’t.
  • Do not let any workers/ persons into your building unless they have proper identification and you know they are coming.
  • Cancel any deliveries if you are not at home. But if you’re still expecting mails or deliveries and you’re not at home. Make arrangement your neighbors, friends or to your landlord.
  • Be vigilant. Do not enter an elevator if you are with a suspicious of the occupants or person. Wait for the next one.
  • Always stand near the elevator's control panel, in case of emergency.
  • Do not leave important items in the home while you are gone for extended amounts of time. Or keep it securely, like jewelry, money, gadgets, documents, etc.
  • Use clock timers to turn lights on to make it your home seems like someone is inside.
