So, here are five ways landlords can safeguard their properties during the warmer months.

Upgrade locks 

Invest in high-quality deadbolts for doors and ensure windows have sturdy locks.

Smart security systems

Install security cameras and smart alarm systems to monitor your property and alert your tenants to suspicious activity.

Encourage good lighting practices

Advise tenants to keep exterior lights on at night, especially when they are away.

Promote safe social media habits

Remind tenants to be cautious about what they share on social media, especially regarding holiday plans.

Review security measures

During property inspections, check the integrity of locks, alarm systems and lighting.

By implementing these steps, landlords can safeguard their properties and help make tenants feel secure and valued.
