Security within renovations
I own multiple rental properties located all around the local area… Some of them are buildings featuring multiple apartments plus others are single-family homes, whenever the renters transfer out, there are regularly considerable renovation plus repairs that need to be completed before I can bring in up-to-date renters, and about a year ago, I started labor on one of the single-family properties! I needed to put down up-to-date floors, upgrade some of the windows plus upgrade the dining room plus bathroom.
I feel that there are people who watch for properties that are vacated! They take the opportunity to break-in plus steal whatever is available.
The washer, dryer plus some of my construction materials were taken from the dwelling within a week after the former renters moved out. I am thankful that the appliances were quite seasoned plus there was only a small amount of materials on the premises. The thieves even stole the garden hose; Because of this, I invested into a dwelling security system for the rental property. I included motion-activated security lights all the way around the perimeter of the property. I added surveillance cameras, automated door locks plus glass breakage sensors. Along with access to real-time video footage by way of my smartphone, I gained alerts if anyone entered the property. If they attempted to enter without punching in the correct code, an severely loud alarm would have gone off. I think the largest deterrent to a break-in was the signs indicating a security system located in the front yard. I am gradually adding security systems to every dwelling I own for the protection of the dwelling plus safety of the renters.
