Planning for your 2021 operating budget is right around the corner. Are you preparing for your property and tenants’ safety?
According to the FBI, property crimes occur every 3.7 seconds here in the United States. As a property manager, it is essential to understand the security threats of your building, and how to solve those problems. Many property managers and owners agree that adding security to their buildings amenity portfolio would increase their numbers year after year, but most fail to find the budget for hiring a service.
Unfortunately, most apartment complexes hire a security service as a result of recent criminal activity on their site. This is not a strategic plan, especially when thinking about your leasing percentage, as well as renewal percentage.
Consider asking yourself these types of questions about your property:
- Who checks to make sure all exterior entrances are locked at night?
- Is there someone who can monitor your property overnight to prevent break-ins, theft, or even worse?
- If something does occur on the property, who is going to respond?
- If you have employees or residents arriving or leaving late, is there someone available to escort them to or from their vehicles safely?
