How To Protect Your Rental Property In Indianapolis

Whether you rent the family lake house or you have a diverse rental portfolio, you are aware it can be difficult to protect a rental property in Indianapolis. If it’s not occupied, your place may be a prime target for burglars or intruders. And if you have tenants, you also must safeguard human beings.

From monitored security to smart security, here are some ways to assist in the protection of your Indianapolis rental property.

Use Round-The-Clock Monitoring To Guard Your Vacation Or Rental House

One of the best deterrents against theft or vandalism at your rental property is security monitoring. Your tenants can sleep easy if they feel protected against intruders, primarily when Indianapolis is unfamiliar territory. If a thief tries to break in, your security system will notify your ADT monitoring center while the warning siren alerts your visitors or tenants. You can even get an alert to your smartphone when a security camera picks up unusual activity.

Smart Key Codes Simplify Security With New Renters

After a guest moves on, you should go through the process so they don’t have a way to enter the house. If they took or copied a key, then they could potentially come back later. To counteract this concern, you could install new locks every time a tenant leaves or install smart locks that work with your security system. By using keypad locks, you can give each renter their own code number that can deactivate when they vacate the property. If past occupants return and use their old code on the keypad, you will receive a notification on your phone.

Automation Protects Your Rental Property In Indianapolis -- Even If You’re Away

If you own a rental or vacation property in Indianapolis, you need to secure the house when it's vacant. An effective way to achieve this is to give an impression that there’s always activity within the home. By integrating your advanced home security with automated features like smart bulbs, thermostats, and speakers, your home will consistently appear to be inhabited. Preset certain light bulbs to come on at specific hours during the day and night and engage your sound system for a couple hours or more, and a potential burglar will second-guess their intentions. When you have home automation with your security system, you are able to program devices with a simple smartphone interface.
