Ways To Protect Your Rental Property In Brooklyn

Whether you’re renting out your parents' old condo or you have a diverse portfolio, you understand that it can be challenging to protect a rental property in Brooklyn. If it’s not occupied, your place may look enticing for a burglar or vandal. Also, if you are currently full, you have to be conscious of keeping your tenants secure.

Including solutions like security monitoring and home automation, here are a few tips and tricks to assist in the protection of your Brooklyn rental property.

Safeguard Your Investment With Security Monitoring

An effective way to prevent criminal activity at your rental is installing a monitored security system. Your guests can sleep easy if they have protection against intruders, primarily when Brooklyn is somewhere they’ve never visited before. In the event a robber tries to break in, your alarms will alert your 24/7 ADT monitoring team while the warning siren rouses your visitors or tenants. You also can have notifications sent to your phone when surveillance camera picks up a potential burglar.

Advanced Keypad Locks Add Security When You Have New Guests

After a guest vacates your property, you should ensure they are cut from access to the property. If you use traditional keys and they have a copy, then they could potentially re-enter your home. To combat this problem, you can change the locks after each renter or have smart locks installed that work with your home’s security. With smart locks, you can provide each occupant their own code number that will no longer work when the lease ends. In the event renters return and try an old key code, you will get an alert sent to your phone.

Automated Devices Protect Your Rental Property In Brooklyn -- Even When Your Property is Vacant

When you have a rental or vacation property in Brooklyn, you you still have to secure the house when it’s not occupied. An effective way to do this is to make it look like there's someone home. By integrating your advanced home security with automated features like smart bulbs, thermostats, and speakers, your place will look occupied at all times. Preset certain light bulbs to activate at regular intervals throughout the day and play music for a few hours, and a curious prowler will second-guess their intentions. By using the right security system, you are able to program devices with a mobile security app.
