How To Protect Your Rental Property In Akron

Whether you’re renting out a single property or you have an array of investment properties, you know that it can be challenging to protect a rental property in Akron. When empty, your residence may be a prime target for thieves or vandals. Additionally, if you are currently leasing, you also must safeguard human beings.

From 24/7 monitoring to smart security, here are a few tips and tricks to assist in the protection of your Akron rental property.

Safeguard Your Rentals With A Monitored Security System

One of the best deterrents against rental or vacation property damage is the installation of a home security system with monitoring. Your renters will enjoy more peace of mind when they feel protected against prowlers, especially if Akron is unfamiliar territory. In the event a robber attempts to enter, your alarms will notify your monitoring professionals at ADT while the easy-to-hear alarm warns everyone inside. You can even get an emergency alert to your mobile device if a surveillance camera identifies a potential burglar.

Smart Locks Simplify Security With New Renters

After a tenant moves on, sometimes it's a guess to know if they will be gone forever. If they took or copied a key, then they have the ability to to regain entry. To combat this problem, you could install new locks every time a tenant leaves or utilize smart keypad locks that work with your home’s security. By using keypad locks, you can give each occupant a custom code that will expire once they leave. If past occupants return and use their old code on the keypad, you will get an alert on your smartphone.

Automation Protects Your Rental Property In Akron -- Even When You’re Not Home

When you invest in a rental or vacation home in Akron, you need to ensure it’s protected, including when it's vacant. a smart method to achieve this is to give an appearance that there’s always activity within the home. By connecting your property’s security system to home automation components like lighting, entertainment systems, and climate control, your home will look occupied at all times. Program certain light bulbs to come on at different times of the night and engage your sound system for a couple hours or more, and a potential burglar will second-guess their intentions. When you have the proper home security, you are able to program devices with a mobile security app.
