According to Ooma, a DIY home security company, renters are 85 percent more likely to be burglarized than homeowners.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What can you do to put clients at ease? Take a moment\u2014as moving season heats up once again this spring\u2014to secure your units for your renters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>1. Find the weak spots.<\/strong> Conduct a safety audit on your properties to find the most susceptible points of entry. In-window air conditioning units, fire escapes, and dark entryways are all common entry points for burglars, according to Ooma. Motion sensor alarms are one option for securing these areas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>2. Secure ground level windows and patio doors.<\/strong> A simple yet effective way to add peace of mind is to make sure there\u2019s a security bar or metal rod that can block the door from being opened. Consider adding motion sensors to these areas as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>3. Consider security cameras.<\/strong> Video is usually the best way to catch burglars, Ooma says. Some cameras have built-in sensors that read thermal information and sound, which will activate recording.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>4. Monitor your property from your phone.<\/strong> Many DIY home security systems come with an app that allows you to monitor a property remotely and receive notifications when a motion sensor or camera has been triggered.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/realtormag.realtor.org\/daily-news\/2018\/02\/28\/4-tips-for-keeping-properties-safe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">4 Tips for Keeping Properties Safe<\/a> by Ooma.com | RealtorMag<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you work in a rental division in your real estate business or property management is your main bread and butter, you know how important security is to your tenants &hellip;
