Tips To Protect Your Rental Property In York

Whether you rent a single property or you are a real estate investor with an array of investment properties, you understand of how difficult it can be to protect a rental property in York. When empty, your unit may look enticing for a burglar or vandal. And if you have guests, you also have to try keeping your tenants secure.

From security monitoring to home automation, here are a few tips and tricks to help you protect your York rental property.

Safeguard Your Properties With A Monitored Security System

An effective way to prevent theft or vandalism at your rental property is installing a monitored security system. Your guests will rest easier when they feel protected against prowlers, primarily when York is unfamiliar territory. If a thief attempts to break in, your security system will alert your 24/7 ADT monitoring team while the high-decibel alarm alerts all people within the home. You can even receive a notification to your phone in the event a security camera picks up a potential burglar.

Smart Locks Simplify Security With New Renters

When a tenant vacates your property, you need to they don’t maintain entry to the house. In the event they took a key with them, then they could possibly re-enter your home. To combat this problem, you can change the locks after each renter or have smart locks installed that integrate with your home security system. By using smart locks, you can give each renter their own code number that will no longer work when they vacate the property. If past occupants return and attempt to use their outdated code, you will receive a notification sent to your phone.
