Three Ways To Protect Your Rented Properties As A Landlord

If you’re a landlord (or a property owner of any kind), the security of your home is essential. That’s why we’ve put up this comprehensive guide to keeping your home and belongings safe and secure.

Three Ways To Protect Your Rented Properties As A LandlordInstall A Burglar Alarm SystemConsider Your GardenWindows And DoorsWhat To Do If You’re A Victim Of A Break-In? 

Install A Burglar Alarm System

When it comes to deterring intruders, burglar alarms are extremely effective. Upon activation, the alarm will sound, alerting anyone in the immediate vicinity that the property may have been broken into. Some alarm systems can also be configured to send a notification to the authorities as soon as they are activated.

Installing an alarm system can also provide you and your tenants with additional peace of mind, as well as a sense of comfort for your tenants when they are absent from the property for an extended period.

Consider Your Garden

When it comes to protecting your home, don’t forget about your garden. Your garden is the entrance to your home, whether it’s in the front, rear, or both. As a result, the more roadblocks you erect, the better. Make your front lawn as ‘noisy’ as possible; a loud gravel path or a lockable front gate may deter robbers. Outdoor lights activated by motion sensors are another technique to discourage intruders. According to studies, these sorts of motion sensor lights can make a significant difference.

You should also consider keeping your trees and plants trimmed. This will make it difficult for robbers to hide or get access to windows through tall trees.

Windows And Doors

The majority of break-ins, according to the police, occur when offenders forcefully gain entrance to a house through doors and windows.

This emphasises the need of ensuring that all doors and windows are of good quality and have secure locks and fittings. Large glass panels on doors allow crooks to peek inside and can be easily smashed and climbed through. We advocate utilising toughened (ideally frosted) glass because it is more difficult to break and keeps criminals out of your home.

You should also make sure that all entrance points into your home are protected equally; it’s worthless to invest in a top-of-the-line security front door if your bathroom window is secured with a weak latch.

What To Do If You’re A Victim Of A Break-In? 

Unfortunately, even if you take every precaution, you may still be a victim of a break-in. If this happens to you, we recommend following our four-step process:

  1. Call the cops right away to report the break-in. They’ll be able to supply you with a crime reference number as well as the possibility to catch the culprits. This number is required for insurance purposes.
  2. Keep the stuff safe. Doors and windows that have been shattered or destroyed must be repaired. In the meanwhile, you may need to board up any damage to ensure the safety of the property.
  3. Take photographs with a time stamp. This will assist you in filing your insurance claim.
  4. Property Insurance for Landlords is one of the most crucials things you need in order to protect yourself from a break in. Get in touch with your insurance company. They can start your claim procedure and advise you on what to do next once you’ve informed them of the burglary.

Hopefully this short guide will help you when it comes to protecting your rented properties as a landlord. Do you do anything else? Please share some of your tips in the comments below.
