TRESPASSING IS MORE THAN A NUISANCE. IT’S A RISK TO YOUR PROPERTY, TENANTS, AND BUSINESS.
CREATIVE PREVENTION STRATEGIES
Simulate Occupancy: Motion-activated lights that turn on at night give the impression someone is home. Smart Locks: Track who enters and exits, and receive alerts when someone attempts unauthorized access. Landscaping as Defense: Thorny bushes along fences or dense hedges can act as natural barriers without looking unwelcoming. Draw a Property Map: Identify vulnerable points like side entrances, windows, or alleyways. This simple visual tool helps you plan security enhancements. Tenant Screening: Before an applicant is accepted as a tenant, do an exhaustive AAOA landlord background check to look for any red flags about them. Clear Policies: Establish clear rules for guests in leases, including maximum stay limits and consequences for overstaying.
