If it’s not occupied, your unit might be appealing for thieves or vandals. In the event you have guests, you also have to try keeping people safe.

From 24/7 monitoring to smart devices, here are a few tips and tricks to help you protect your Hagerstown rental property.

Your guests will rest easier if they feel protected against invaders, particularly if Hagerstown is somewhere they’ve never visited before. If a burglar tries to force his way in, your security system will alert your 24/7 ADT monitoring team while the easy-to-hear alarm rouses everyone inside. You also can have updates sent to your smartphone if a security camera identifies a potential burglar.

Smart Key Codes Make It Easier To Rotate Renters

After a tenant vacates your property, sometimes it's a mystery to know if they will be away forever. If you use traditional keys and they have a copy, then they have the ability to to regain entry. To counteract this concern, you might switch out your locks each time a lease ends or have smart locks installed that integrate with your home security system. With smart locks, you can give each renter a custom code that will no longer work when they vacate the property. And if they ever do come back and attempt to use their outdated code, you will receive a notification on your smartphone.
