<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\nWhen you think you have found your dream apartment, check into the company and management team that is in charge of the property.\u00a0 Are they reputable and professional?\u00a0 It is always recommended that before you sign on the dotted line of a lease, you know who you are dealing with and that they follow the rules in the BC Residential Tenancy Act.<\/p>\n
2. Observe General Upkeep.<\/span><\/h6>\nTake in the general look and feel of the building and property \u2013 inside and out.\u00a0 Are there broken windows, water stains, or overgrown landscaping that can be a security hazard?\u00a0 If a landlord chooses not to take care of basic maintenance, he or she isn\u2019t probable concerned with general security of the property.<\/p>\n
3. Light it Up.![\"\"](\"https:\/\/midtown-abbotsford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015-09-29-16.19.18-edit-300x191.jpg\")
<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\nIntruders prefer to sneak around in the dark or in poorly-lit areas.\u00a0 Therefore, when choosing an apartment building to call home make sure you check out the building during the day and a drive by at night.\u00a0 Landlords who care, will replace bunt out bulbs within 24 hours, and have exterior lights installed around the front entrance and parking lot areas.\u00a0 Also ample brightness inside the building to light the hallway and common rooms such as laundry, bike storage and the mail area is critical to maintain safety.\u00a0 The fewer places an intruder has to hide out, the safer everyone will be.<\/p>\n
4. Locks and Entrance Control.<\/span><\/h6>\nWhen looking at a building, consider the front lobby doors and underground parking gate and how access is gained by residents and visitors.\u00a0 Many times, an entrance door will require a key or buzz-in to access the lobby and interior halls of an apartment building.\u00a0 At Midtown Club Suites, we have upgraded all exterior doors and gates with keyless FOB access for residents. With only key access, past tenants could still have keys floating around, whereas with FOBs being controlled by the manager, it allows them more control and to limit access to the building.<\/p>\n
5. Security Cameras.<\/span><\/h6>\nIt is of our opinion that installing security cameras, doesn\u2019t necessarily omit![\"\"](\"https:\/\/midtown-abbotsford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CCTV-2-550-300x191.jpg\")
<\/a> crime, but they sure can help deter vandalism.\u00a0 They also help the management team understand who, what and when of this unwanted behaviour, as new technology allows loop recordings to be watched and given over to authorities if required.\u00a0 At Midtown Club Suites, we have given careful thought and planning to include a total of 14 cameras installed strategically in lobby and underground parking, that are linked to a DVR monitored by the building manager.<\/p>\n6. Fire Safety Plan.<\/span><\/h6>\nIn apartment complexes, the fire safety equipment including sprinklers, and the landlords commitment to annual maintenance and replacement is of the upmost importance.\u00a0 At a minimum, the landlord should conduct the fire safety inspection with a professional and reputable third-party company \u2013 and all recommended work and repairs noted on the inspection report should be done by the landlord.\u00a0 We have gone one step further with our sprinklers at Midtown Club Suites and have installed the latest technology \u201cDry-Flex\u201d system to provide sprinklers on each patio in the building.<\/p>\n
7. Security System for your Suite.<\/span><\/h6>\nIt is not as common or typically needed for the upper floors of an ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/midtown-abbotsford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/maxresdefault-300x169.jpg\")
<\/a>apartment to have a security system, but we consider the ground floor suites to be similar to that of a townhome.\u00a0 There are more eyes and ears in an apartment building which is a benefit to deterring crime, but at Midtown we have chosen to pre-wire all opening doors and windows, plus install key pad and motion detector for the ground floor suites.\u00a0 Of course today there are also wireless systems you can buy, which is great to be able to take with you to your next residence when the time comes to move.<\/p>\n8. Checking out the Neighbors.<\/span><\/h6>\nGetting to know your neighbors and building management staff is a real easy way to help look out for each other.\u00a0 If you live in a larger complex, think about organizing simple social events where you get more familiar with the faces that are down the hall from you.\u00a0 We believe that setting the right culture of the building is almost as important as the security system we install \u2013 so we hire managers who care about the culture and who they choose to rent to.\u00a0 This extra attention to detail at Midtown, sets our buildings apart from the competition.<\/p>\n
9. Extra Security Measures at Home.<\/span><\/h6>\nFor extra security, we have found that leaving a couple of low-energy lights, plus a radio or TV playing while you are gone, is a simple way to deter criminal activity.\u00a0 Always tell your manager, and neighbors when you leave for a business trip or vacation.<\/p>\n
